both formulations and oral cellcept® administration were performed in rats. Mycophenolate mofetil was rapidly and completely metabolized into the active metabolite by oral drug administration where as partial and slow metabolism was observed by pulmonary drug administration. Hence the results have shown that inhaled Mycophenolate mofetil suspension form was displayed well favourable pharmacokinetic data than that of inhaled cellcept® IV solution

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) causes a restriction in blood circulation due to atherosclerosis‚ fatty deposits on the inner linings of the arteries that cause a blockage of blood flow; arteriosclerosis‚ loss of elasticity in the arteries themselves; or both. Restricted peripheral blood flow causes an increase in blood

the lungs. In the lungs the pleural membrane facilitates breathing. The bronchioles end in microscopic alveoli lined by a thin‚ moist epithelium. The alveoli is the primary site of gas exchange. Branches of the pulmonary arteries send oxygen poor blood to the alveoli; branches of the pulmonary veins transport oxygen rich blood from the alveoli back to the heart. Inspiration (the process of inhaling) begins as the external intercostals and diaphragm contract. When this happens‚ the lungs expand. After

Grant 2014). The heart provides a constant blood circulation action and the blood vessels provide a network for the blood flow. The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body‚ ( www.le.ac.uk) the right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs (pulmonary circulation) and the left side receives oxygenated blood and supplies it to the rest of the body (systemic circulation). There are three types of blood vessel‚ arteries
