Table 1.

Comparison of breath test parameters

Sumatriptan Control P value
T1/2 131.84 (103.13-168.70) 120.27 (89.61-138.25) 0.0166
Tlag 80.085 (59.23-125.89) 61.11 (39.86-87.05) 0.0125
GEC 3.545 (3.20-3.97) 3.55 (3.19-4.03) 0.6460
β 2.3374 (1.6407-3.8209) 2.0847 (1.4755-2.9269) 0.0284
κ 0.5833 (0.3689-0.7836) 0.6180 (0.4661-0.8872) 0.3329

T1/2: Time to emptying of 50% of the labeled meal (min); Tlag: Very similar to the percentage dose recovery peak time (min); GEC: Gastric emptying coefficient; β and κ: Regression-estimated constants. A larger (smaller) value of β indicates slower (faster) emptying in the early phase, and a larger (smaller) value of κ indicates faster (slower) emptying in the later phase.
