Relation between pulmonary clearance and particle burden: a Michaelis-Menten-like kinetic model.
OBJECTIVES To test the validity of a Michaelis-Menten-like kinetic model of pulmonary clearance of insoluble dusts. METHODS Data were investigated from studies of pulmonary clearance in F344 rats exposed to antimony trioxide (Sb2O3), photocopy test toner, polyvinyl chloride powder (PVC), and diesel exhaust particles. The Michaelis-Menten-like model was used to develop a relation in which the ...
متن کاملA lung retention model based on Michaelis-Menten-like kinetics.
A Michaelis-Menten (MM)-like kinetic model for pulmonary clearance and retention of insoluble dusts was developed and validated by comparing our predictions with experimental data from F344 rats. Published data from inhalation studies involving accumulation and elimination of photocopy test toner, antimony trioxide, carbon black, and diesel exhaust particles were investigated. Numerical integra...
متن کاملExtracting signal from noise: kinetic mechanisms from a Michaelis-Menten-like expression for enzymatic fluctuations.
Enzyme-catalyzed reactions are naturally stochastic, and precision measurements of these fluctuations, made possible by single-molecule methods, promise to provide fundamentally new constraints on the possible mechanisms underlying these reactions. We review some aspects of statistical kinetics: a new field with the goal of extracting mechanistic information from statistical measures of fluctua...
متن کاملEstimation Aspects of the Michaelis – Menten Model
• This paper studies the Michaelis–Menten model (MM), which plays an important role in pharmacokinetics, from a theoretical as well as a computational point of view. An analytical method for the nonlinear least squares estimation of the MM is introduced. It is proved that the MM model has not a unique parameter estimation (through the nonlinear least squares), and there is not a unique optimal ...
متن کاملRobust and efficient designs for the Michaelis-Menten model
For the Michaelis-Menten model we determine designs which maximize the minimum of the D-eÆciencies over a certain interval for the non-linear parameter. The best two point designs can be found explicitly and a characterization is given, when these designs are optimal within the class of all designs. In most cases of practical interest the determined designs are highly eÆcient and robust with re...
