Allometric equations, coefficients and scaled human pharmacokinetic parameters for a 70 kg human generated using simple or MLP-corrected allometry based on data from mice, rats, rabbits and dogs

Parameter Allometric equation Coefficient ( 2) * Scaled human value
CLt (mL/min/kg) y = 45.9 W0.845 0.995 24.1
CLSt × MLP (mL/min/kg) y = 31.2 W1.14 0.999 6.99
Vdss (mL/kg) y = 10140 W0.865 0.968 5720
Values from linear regression analysis of the parameter body weight plots on a log log scale (Fig. 3).
Values from simple allometry.
Value from MLP-corrected allometry. The parameter was calculated as the human CLt × MLP divided by the human MLP of 93.4 years [14].
