Abstract:Objectives Age and protein malnutrition (PMN) are well-known determinants of drug pharmacokinetics. The combined influence of age and nutrition on the pharmacokinetics of acetaminophen (APAP) remains insufficiently explored; therefore, this study investigates the role of age and PMN on APAP pharmacokinetics.
Materials and Methods Wistar rat weanlings were divided into four groups. Groups ND-5 (n = 6) and ND-18 (n = 6) were fed with normal diet (ND, 18% protein) and groups LPD-5 (n = 6) and LPD-18 (n … Show more
