Method A used the individual values for each parameter (MPPGL, CLint, in vitro, LW, QH and BW) for 78 livers. Method B used the individual MPPGL value and the mean values for the remaining four parameters. Similar to method B, method C, D, E and F used the individual CLint, in vitro, LW, QH or BW value, respectively, and the mean values for the remaining four parameters. Method G used the mean value of the five parameters for that particular liver.
