This book presents a unique, highly practical overview of pharmacokinetics. It explains the scientific data and mathematical models of the discipline within the context of biological reality. "Comparative Pharmacokinetics" uses a complete model of the field, from facts and constructs to clinical manifestations. Written for students, researchers, and comparative medicine clinicians, this book thoroughly explains and assesses both mechanistic, compartmental models, and the newer empirical noncompartmental models, considering strengths and weaknesses of each. "Comparative Pharmacokinetics" also explains establishment of appropriate parameters and proper collection and linking of data. Cross-referenced information provides multiple opportunities for study from a variety of perspectives and ultimately aids decision making. This book concludes with application of techniques to common problems.
