Pharmacokinetics Mathematical and Statistical Approaches to Metabolism and Distribution of Chemicals and Drugs

Pharmacologists can be considered pioneers of the study of kinetics of materials introduced into biological systems. The study of drug kinetics is particularly suited to a formulation of relatively simple models which make possible an interpretation of the time-dependent nature of various important...
