  1. keff rate constant for efflux determined from the time course of the decrease in concentration after injection of solute into the parenchyma (brain efflux index for the Slc substrates relative to inulin; these underestimate keff for values less than ~ 0.01 min−1 see [131]); t1/2 = 0.69/(rate constant) is the half-life; Vd, volume of distribution in the parenchyma determined using brain slices (ISF volume for inulin and mannitol); CL = Vd × keff, the clearance. For the Slc substrates more than one transporter in each membrane is likely to be involved in the transport
  2. * Assumed equal to ISF volume
