  • 3-a Data calculated for mice with a 26.5-g average body weight to compare values with Nishikawa et al. (1993) in which mice of 25–28 g were used.

  • 3-b Data from Nishikawa et al. (1993).

  • 3-c Dose per gram body weight.

  • 3-d AUC(0→120 min) calculated from blood concentrationversus time curve.

  • 3-e AUC(0→120 min) calculated from plasma concentrationversus time curve.

  • 3-f Percent of the total clearance Cltotal.

  • 3-g n.a., not analyzed.

  • 3-h Calculated from the preliminary data of cumulative drug excretion in the urine of mice kept in metabolic cages for 48 h and determined by use of the slope of the excretion rate of the sampling period versus the blood concentration of NOAC.
