2.9 Statistical analysis
Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated from plasma concentration data
via non-compartmental analysis using the professional pharmacokinetic
software DAS 3.0 (Drug and statistics software 3.0). The experimental
data were presented as mean ± SD or median
(25th–75th percentile), depending
on a normal or skewed distribution of data determined by the
Shapiro-Wilk test. GraphPad Prism 9.0 was used to perform statistical
analyses. Comparisons between the two groups were tested by a two-tailed
Student’s t-test or Mann-Whitney U test based on the distribution of
data. The difference among multiple groups was evaluated by one-way
analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA). Statistical significance was
defined as P < 0.05.
