An improved nonlinear model describing the hepatic pharmacokinetics of digoxin: evidence for two functionally different uptake systems and saturable binding.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo develop a semi-distributed liver model for the evaluation of saturable sinusoidal uptake and binding kinetics of the Oatp1a4 substrate digoxin.
methodsIn the perfused rat liver, two successive digoxin doses of 42 and 125 microg were administered, and the outflow concentration was determined by LC/MS/MS. [14C]-sucrose was used as vascular reference. The data were analyzed simultaneously by a population approach using sucrose to determine the sinusoidal mixing of digoxin.
resultsThe results suggest the existence of a high-affinity, low-capacity system, and a low-affinity, high-capacity system for sinusoidal uptake with apparent Michaelis constants (K(M)) of 0.24 and 332 microg/ml, respectively. Incorporation of saturable sinusoidal binding of digoxin considerably improved the fit, and the parameter estimates were consistent with those of binding to hepatic Na,K-ATPase. Simpler models that neglect the concentration gradient in flow direction failed to describe the outflow data in the high dose range.
conclusionThe semi-distributed liver model with saturable uptake should be useful for a functional characterization of transporters in the in situ rat liver.
