where are the NPs mass or percentage contents in the GIT, bone- muscular carcass, liver, spleen, blood and rest organs. According to the assumptions made above about the chambers that should be accounted for, we can suppose that kb,r 0. Consequently, Mr 0, and we can neglect by the 2 terms of the last but one of equation and by the last equation as a whole.
This system of 5 ODE cannot be solved analytically, so the numerical methods should be used, along with a fitting of the biokinetics parameters set such that solutions would approximate the experimental data minimizing some optimization (e.g. the error least square) functional.
