CLfG, CLfS, and CLfO represent, respectively, formation (hepatic) clearances for paracetamol-glucuronide, paracetamol-sulfate, and the oxidative pathway metabolites; VP, VG, VS, and VO represent, respectively, volumes of distribution for paracetamol, paracetamol-glucuronide, paracetamol-sulfate, and the oxidative pathway metabolites; CLRP, CLRG, CLRS, and CLRO represent, respectively, renal clearances for unchanged paracetamol, paracetamol-glucuronide, paracetamol-sulfate, and the oxidative pathway metabolites

Data are presented as: correlation point estimate from the final model fit [bootstrap 95 % confidence interval]. Bootstrap success rate was 77 % (n = 153 out of 200)

b

Correlations in between-subject variability for CLRG, clRS, and CLRO were observed to be high and were fixed to one
