  1. aDaily dosage means the dosage for per kilogram body weight rat every day. It was translated from a human equivalent dose taking into account body weight and body surface area.
  2. bOral single-dose is the actual dosage in our animal experiment. Based on the maximal oral dosage and the solubility of SNs, the oral single-dose of SNs was 3.2 mL per 100 g body weight (i.e. 8 times daily dosage).
