biological half-life

Lead in bone has a biological half-life of about ten years.

Specifically, the biological half-life is estimated to be 22 years.

For example, the biological half-life of water in a human being is about 7 to 14 days, though this can be altered by his/her behavior.

This results in biological half-lives of several years for all dioxins.

Caesium in the body has a biological half-life of about one to four months.

The biological half-life of caesium is rather short at about 70 days.

Protein binding can influence the drug's biological half-life in the body.

Constituents that change in this manner are said to have a biological half-life.

The biological half-life of caesium in humans is between one and four months.

The biological half-life of rubidium in humans was measured as 31-46 days.

The biological half-life of strychnine is about 10 hours.

Drinking large amounts of alcohol will reduce the biological half-life of water in the body.

Plutonium absorbed by the body is excreted very slowly, with a biological half-life of 200 years.

Its biological half-life is 15 minutes.

This is a constant which can not be changed but the biological half-life is not a constant.

The third area needed to complete the overall efficacy picture of an ARB is its biological half-life.

The biological half-life of curium is about 20 years in the liver and 50 years in the bones.

Many of the actinides are very radiotoxic because they have long biological half-lives and are alpha emitters.

Its therapeutic potential may be limited by its short biological half-life, poor bioavailability, and the fact that it has numerous non-specific actions.

The Prussian blue reduces the biological half-life (different from the nuclear half-life) of the caesium.

Biological half-life is an important pharmacokinetic parameter and is usually denoted by the abbreviation t.

The biological half-life (the average time it takes for the human body to eliminate half the amount in the body) for uranium is about 15 days.
