NOTES

Human cadavar skin was used. Following mounting each piece of skin was allowed to stand for several hours before biginning the experiment. The dose was between 4 and 40 mcrg/cm2. Depending on the Specific Activity of the compound used.They also used cells with a 2.5cm2 Area for diffusion. In these cells they used a dose of 0.025ml. The value given as % Absorption is the median value.
