Determining the steepest slope as a measure of the response-metric (greatest response per unit dose) from in vitro and in vivo dose-response curves. The response-metric based on particle surface area as the dose-metric is a more appropriate measure to determine in vitro/in vivo correlations than using the highest observed response (yn) elicited by an unrealistic high dose xn.
