Details on absorption:

Peak concentration occurred at 4.5 and 7 days after dosing. Plasma levels were 15, 26 to 33, and 45 to 51 mg/100 ml from lowest to highest dosage and diminished rapidly and progressively from high- to low-dose groups.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Peak concentration occurred at 4.5 and 7 days after dosing. Plasma levels were 15, 26 to 33, and 45 to 51 mg/100 ml from lowest to highest dosage.
Olive oil had no apparent effect on absorption.

Executive summary:

Monkeys (2 per dose group) received oral doses of 50, 100, and 200 mglkg bw/day, 5 days per week, for 290 to 397 days. Dehydroacetic Acid was administered in olive oil to 1 monkey in each group. Plasma concentrations of Dehydroacetic Acid were determined at various intervals after dosing. The peak concentration occurred between 4.5 and 7 hours after dosing (plasma levels at 4 hours from low dose to high were 15, 26 to 33, and 45 to 51 mg/l00 ml, respectively), and diminished rapidly and progressively from high- to low-dose groups. Olive oil apparently had no influence on absorption.
