Fig. 6From: Constraint-based perturbation analysis with cluster Newton method: a case study of personalized parameter estimations with irinotecan whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelComparing distributions of estimated parameters by age group between CNM with and without constraints. We observe the distributions of optimized values of the estimated parameter #71 (renal clearance of CPT-11), #76 (liver clearance to bile of CPT-11), and #83 (liver metabolism from CPT-11 to APC) in different age groups (below 70Â years, and 70Â years and over) between by the CNM with and without constraints. The distributions of parameter #71, #76, and #83 are shown in (a), (b) and (c), respectively. The distributions of the estimated parameters by the CNM without constraints are not different between both age groups. On the other hand, the distributions of the estimated parameters by the CNM with constraints are considerably lower in 70Â years and over than in below 70Â yearsBack to article page
