In Vivo Pharmacokinetics Study

In vivo PK of tea polyphenols 800 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.

All study participants were required to refrain from the ingestion of tea or tea products for 7 days before the dose administration. The day before the pharmacokinetic study, study partici- pants were instructed to fast after midnight except for drinking water. On the pharmacokinetic study day, study subjects skipped breakfast and took no over the counter medications, vitamins, or health food products. Study participants came to the clinic in the early morning (6 – 8 a.m.) and were provided with one to two bagels for breakfast.
