75–84

Imax (bpm)

−10.6 (32.9)

−24.0 to −5.8

IC50 (ng/mL)

0.251 (65.7)

  1. BSV, between-subject variability; CI, confidence interval; CV%, coefficient of variation; HR, heart rate; IC50, concentration of L-VP that produces 50% of the maximal response; Imax, maximum change in HR; L-VP, lysine-vasopressin; RSE, relative standard error
  2. aHR = B0 + Imax * L-VP/(IC50 + L-VP)
  3. bParameter precision (RSE%) is expressed as CV%
