Parameter | RVT | BaP | BaP + RVT |
---|---|---|---|
Area under curve (AUC; mg x h/ml) | 0.10 ± 0.01 | 0.12 ± 0.005 | 0.07 ± 0.005 |
Biological half-life (t1/2; hrs) | 1.0 ± 0.011 | 1.8 ± 0.018 | 0.85 ± 0.010* |
Volume of distribution (Vd; ml/kg) | 0.44 ± 0.050 | 0.58 ± 0.045 | 0.22 ± 0.064 |
Clearance (Cl; ml/hr/kg) | 0.08 ± 0.006 | 0.10 ± 0.01 | 0.05 ± 0.004* |
Mean residence time (MRT; hrs) | 1.6 ± 0.018 | 2.4 ± 0.010 | 1.2± 0.004* |
Elimination rate (Kd; hrs) | 0.18 ± 0.03 | 0.17 ± 0.06 | 0.23 ± 0.004 |
Values represent mean ± standard error (n = 10). Asterisks denote statistical significance (p < 0.05) of toxicokinetic parameter values for BaP and RVT administered together compared to BaP alone administration.
