Abstract
A model based on a Michaelis-Menten nonlinear kinetic approach was used to analyze the kinetics of elimination of an intravenously infused lipid emulsion in the dog. The emulsion was administered at doses of 0.3, 3, or 6 g of lipid/kg of body weight. The model was applicable to all data regardless of the kinetic order of the elimination process operating. This can be either zero (linear), mixed, or first order (exponential). Furthermore, it was also found that parameters derived with the model can be used to predict the kinetics of elimination at different dosages. However, it was also shown that elimination parameters for a single bolus dose of lipid emulsion cannot be used to predict the manner in which a continuously infused dose will be eliminated.
