title: Pharmacokinetics of fluorescein-labelled glycosaminoglycans and of their lipoprotein lipase-inducing activity in the rat.
abstract: Using fluorescein-labelled glycosaminoglycans (F-GAG) an extensive study of their pharmacokinetics and of pharmacokinetics of their lipoprotein lipase-inducing activity was carried out in fed and fasted rats. A two-compartment model was used to describe F-GAG's pharmacokinetics. The parameters of drug disposition were strongly dose-dependent. The dose-response curves for parameters were powers with negative exponent indicating considerable saturation of the F-GAG elimination process. There was also dose dependence for T1/2, Co, AUC and Cl, and the decrease in lipoprotein lipase activity in plasma was strongly dose-dependent. The lipoprotein lipase kinetic parameters also appeared to be dose-dependent.
