a

No statistically significant difference for dose-normalized AUCo-∞ and Tmax between the two nebulized CMS doses. The mean (SD) of the AUCo-∞ for the 2 million IU dose for all 6 subjects was 2.06 mg · h/liter (1.24 mg · h/liter).

b

Statistically significant difference for dose-normalized Cmax between the two nebulized CMS doses (P < 0.05). The mean (SD) of the Cmax for the 2 million IU dose for all 6 subjects was 0.22 mg/liter (0.055 mg/liter).

c

The mean (SD) of the AUCo-∞ for the 4 million IU dose for all 6 subjects was 2.78 mg · h/liter (0.88 mg · h/liter).

d

The mean (SD) of the Cmax for the 4 million IU dose for all 6 subjects was 0.33 mg/liter (0.092 mg/liter).
