Note: Polynomial coefficients (βi) are tabulated for each species, and route of exposure with corresponding dose–response curves are shown in Figure 6 (rat) and Figure 7 (human). Parameters for BMD15 determine the total absorbed dose (TAD) versus fraction of day (FOD) exposed boundary resulting in a chlorpyrifos (CPF) brain concentration at the derived BMD15. Similarly, parameters for BMDL15 determine the boundary resulting in a brain CPF concentration at BMDL15. Differences in physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model parameters between rat and human simulations resulted in differences in the BMD15 and BMDL15 cutoff for each species. BMD, benchmark dose; BMD15, benchmark dose at 15% cognitive deficit; BMDL15, lower limit benchmark dose.
