AUCpre-ER, area under the concentration-time profile before the secondary increase in concentrations and extrapolated through infinite time; AUCER, difference between AUC0–8 h and AUCpre-ER.
*
P < 0.05 (ANOVA), significantly different among Sprague-Dawley groups.
**
P < 0.01, significantly different from respective control.
***
P < 0.001, significantly different from respective control.
