TABLE 6

The effects of zonal heterogeneity of influx/efflux transport, metabolism, and secretion on clearances in digoxin hepatic disposition: simulations with the PBPK zonal model (Fig. 4B) The three letters denote the distribution patterns of influx/efflux, metabolism, and secretory activities, with A denoting even distribution, B denoting 10:30:60% of total activity, and C denoting 60:30:10% of total activity in zones 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
