Table 1.

Organ Flows rates and Volume in mice. The flow rates and volumes were obtained mainly from the ILSI parameters booklet ILSI [14] and the BioDMET database [12]. The parameters for the mouse uterus were difficult to find, and hence were drawn from research papers as indicated. The flow fraction and volume fraction for the uterus were calculated using the data in the sources. These quantities were scaled for the current mouse model by multiplying with the cardiac output and the total body volume respectively. The blood flow rate is the sum of all the flow rates, and hence is a whole fraction.
