In Vivo Pharmacokinetics Study

In vivo PK of tea polyphenols 200 mg EGCG capsules

Results

The authors report a CL/F value but they don't have or mention administration of any IV formulation to use for calculating oral bioavailability (assuming F = (AUC_{po}XDose_{iv})/(AUC_{iv}XDose_{po}). So, I think that the they are really just reporting Cl from Dose/AUC. A similar comment applies to volume of distribution. These two values have not been entered into the repository.
