AUC8, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity; Cmax, estimated maximum plasma concentration; t1/2, estimated plasma elimination half -life; tlag, lag time or time; tmax, estimated time to reach Cmax; k01, first-order absorption coefficient; λ, first order elimination coefficient; Vd, volume of distribution. ∗∗∗P < 0.001 compared with D-amphetamine (two-sided T-tests).
