Table 2. The BH4% in the blood, liver and kidney after 6RBH4 administration.

The BH4% in organs 30 min and 120 min after administration of 6RBH4 with or without prior treatment with Pbc or CsA. For each rat group, differences in the organ BH4% between blood, liver and kidney were analyzed by Tukey’s multiple testing method. BH4% values are means ±S.E. and apply to Fig 5.

1) Difference between the BH4% of time-matched blood vs. liver or kidney. **P<0.01 significance, suggesting the BH4% is higher than that of blood; “n.s.”, not significant.
