Comparative Pharmacokinetics: Principles, Techniques and Applications, 2nd Edition – Jim E. Riviere

Detailní popis produktu

New chapters have been added on quantitative structure permeability relationships and bioequivalence, and a number of existing chapters have been significantly revised and expanded to provide a current resource for veterinary and comparative pharmacokinetics.

REVIEWS

"This book is helpful in understanding and designing pharmacokinetic studies, illustrating basic concepts and noting the species differences. . . The book does a good job of explaining a concept and then expands with more specific examples. It provides a good base for pharmacokinetic modeling and illustrates the pitfalls with interspecies extrapolation." (Doody's, 21 October 2011)
