Pharmacokinetics, distribution and excretion of inulin-type fructan CPA after oral or intravenous administration to mice

and MRT. After p.o administration, the area under the time curve (AUC0-∞) was dose-dependently increased. Taken together, FCPA showed poor absorption and wide tissue distribution. These pharmacokinetic results yield helpful insights into the pharmacological actions of FCPA.
