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].
