Text: The maximum mean (+ / - standard deviation [SD]) of misoprostol acid differed significantly between the oral and vaginal groups (277 + / - 124 compared with 165 + / d - 86 pg/mL, respectively ; P =. 03, analysis of variance), as did the mean + / - SD time to peak levels (34 + / - 17 compared with 80 + / - 27 minutes, respectively ; P <. 001) and areas under the misoprostol concentration versus time curve (mean + / - SD) up to 4 hours (n = 20, 273. 3 + / - 110. 0 compared with 503. 3 + / - 296. 7 pg. hour / mL, respectively ; P =. 033) and up to 6 hours (n = 10, 300. 0 + / - 103. 3 compared with 956. 7 + / - 541. 7 pg. hour / mL, respectively ; P =. 029).
