Additive error model in log scale

All parameters were simultaneously estimated and listed here twith their corresponding relative standard error (RSE%); BSV, between subject variability expressed as coefficient of variation (%). CL/F, total apparent oral clearance; VC/F and VP/F, apparent volumes of distribution of the central, and peripheral compartments, respectively; ka, first order rate constant of absorption; Q/F inter-compartmental distribution clearances between the central and peripheral compartment; F, oral bioavailability; DPP40, baseline value for DPP4 activity; ksyn, synthesis rate of DPP4; kf regulates the delay of the feedback loop; Emax, maximum effect; EC50, the drug concentration necessary to achieve 50% of the Emax; h, hill exponent; γ, feedback exponent; 2, variance.
