The data represent the following: BSA = body surface area, dOFV = difference Objective Function Value, K21 = rate constant of the distribution from the first peripheral compartment to the central compartment, NA = not applicable, Q = intercompartmental clearance between the central and second peripheral compartment, σprop = proportional residual error, SMD = skeletal muscle density, SMI = skeletal muscle index, VAT = visceral adipose tissue, V1 = volume of central compartment, V3 = volume of the second peripheral compartment, VMEL = maximal elimination rate, VMTR = maximal transport rate from the central to the first peripheral compartment, KMEL = plasma concentration at half VMEL, and KMTR = plasma concentration at half VMTR.
