## KEY WORDS Mean residence time MRT Moments Statistical moments Mean absorption time MAT Pharmacokinetics Pharmacodynamics Biopharmaceutic Mean residence time has been the subject of much research and discussion in recent pharmacokinetic literature. Unfortunately confusion can result from the def
A method for calculating the mean residence times of metabolites in the body, systemic circulation, and peripheral tissue is described. The calculations require the AUC, AUMC, and derivatives of the plasma concentration versus time curves of the metabolite and its precursor. The method is applicable
The definitions of mean residence time of drug molecules in the body (MRT) from the literature are reviewed. A formal definition of MRT, based on excretion of drug molecules and amount of drug, a parameter which is independent of constancy of both clearance and volume of distribution, is introduced
A method is described for calculating the mean cover time for a particle performing a simple random walk on the vertices of a finite connected graph. The method also yields the variance and generating function of the cover time. A computer program is available which utilises the approach to provide
Mean transit times (MTTs) can give useful insights into the internal processes of hydrological systems. However, varying model conditioning assumptions and data availability can limit the use of MTT, particularly in terms of comparing the results of studies using different assumptions and data recor
