Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Data Analysis: Concepts and Applications

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Data Analysis: Concepts and Applications teaches everyday biological data analysis to the undergraduate and graduate levels. Through numerous examples and over 100 tutorials, scientists learn how to use PK/PD seamlessly in a variety of practical areas, from simple plasma kinetics, multi-compartment models, nonlinear kinetics, plasma protein binding, pharmacodynamic models, turnover concepts, receptor binding, functional adaption and rebound, dose-response-time data analysis, inter-species scaling and a lot more. A substantial effort has been invested into the new pharmacokineticsand pharmacodynamics, including many new and updated Case Studies.

The text develops a logical, real-world approach to data and reasoning, showing the reader how to:

• Think both analytically and visually about data
• Use graphics to make a point
• Impove your pattern recognition ability
• Make sound decisions
• Strategize your data analyses
• Appreciate more fully the exciting field of Quantitative Pharmacology
