  1. Data are obtained from a one-tissue compartment model. Values are means ± S.D.; n.s., not significant. aThe unidirectional blood-brain clearance (K1; mL g−1 min−1), the apparent washout rate constant from the brain (k2″; min−1) and the total distribution volume (VT″; mL g−1) were calculated with plasma volume fixed at 0.025 mL g−1. In the unblocked condition, we calculated the binding potential BPND relative to VT″ in the blocked condition. Significant difference between k2″ in the two groups: *p < 0.001, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.01.
