Table 1 Tissue concentrations of total radiolabeled components at 1, 4, 8 and 24 h after oral administration of [14C]diclofenac sodium at a dose of 2 mg/kg to male rats injected with carrageenan (T) or saline (C) into the left front footpad and the left hind paw.

From: Preferential uptake of the non steroid anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac into inflamed tissues after a single oral dose in rats
