The pharmacokinetics of trichloroethylene (TCE) was studied in male Sprague-Dawley rats (300-350 g). TCE was administered intravenously and orally at doses of 5, 10, and 25 mg/kg to nonfasted rats and orally at 10 mg/kg to rats fasted for 8-10 h. The disappearance of TCE from the blood of intravenously dosed animals was best described by a two-compartment open pharmacokinetic model. The volume of the central compartment (Vc) approximated the rats' blood volume (50-70 ml/kg). The volume distribution (V beta) and total body clearance (CLT) decreased with increase in dose. The terminal half-life (t1/2) was about 120 min and was not affected by increases in dose. TCE was rapidly absorbed after oral dosing, with blood concentrations peaking between 6 and 10 min. The oral to intravenous bioavailability of TCE was 60-80% in nonfasted animals. The terminal t1/2 in fasted, orally dosed rats was identical to that when fasted rats were given the same dose intravenously. In fasted rats, bioavailability of an oral dose was greater than 90%, and peak levels in the blood were 2-3 times as high as in nonfasted rats.

Models are intellectual constructs that pattern selected relationships among the elements of one system to correspond in some way to elements of a second system. In pharmacokinetics, physiological models provide a clearly articulated, rational, explanatory basis for the integration of empirical data; they do this by partitioning the biological system into relevant components (tissues, organs, etc.) and linking them together through the circulatory system. Unlike conventional mammillary compartment models, there is a clear correspondence between model system elements and physiological entities. By virtue of their high degree of physical and biochemical relevance, these models can help provide deep insight into structure, function and mechanism. Pharmacokinetic (and potentially pharmacodynamic) response-time relationships can thus be understood in terms of interconnections and behavior of constituent subsystems. At their worst, these models provide stale or infertile views of reality and thus frustrate and alienate us with the triviality of their insights. At their best, they allow us to understand the accumulation of thought in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and help with the integration of data and improvement of experimental design.
