NA, not applicable.
Tissue vascular-corrected volume (
) calculated based on experiment value using eq. 4.
Calculated based on the value from Shah and Betts (2012).
Calculated value assuming 1) 1 ng/ml tissue density, volume for remainder compartment = body weight – summation of volume for all measured tissues; 2) blood flow for remainder compartment = cardiac output – summation of blood flow for all measured tissues; 3) liver blood flow = summation of blood flow of liver artery, spleen, and intestine).
