= intrinsic clearance of 18F-FDGal; F = hepatic blood flow (L blood/min; Table 1); = hepatic systemic clearance of 18F-FDGal; = hepatic systemic clearance of 18F-FDGal calculated from PET study without galactose infusion; ND = not determined (in subject 4, no liver vein blood samples were obtained during PET study); mean ± SE = weighted mean ± SE of the weighted mean.
Individual values are given as estimate ± SE of estimate.
