Where appropriate, data are given as mean ± 1 SD.

a

Fetal weights were extrapolated from birth weight by using a trendline from present and prior time-mated baboon birth weights (n = 32). When birth weight was unavailable, mean birth weight for gestational age was used.

b

Norfluoxetine clearance, 450 mL/min; norfluoxetine clearance normalized to fetal weight, 800 mL/min/kg.

c

Means for individual baboons were calculated before determining the overall mean across all animals.
