peer agreement (net): +5| enterohepatic recirculation of methotrexate has been proposed. .... has been suggested by researchers Explanation: ... as possible mechanism (which in turn explains the pharmakokinetic findings). Usually "proposed" is used with the same meaning as suggest, claim, etc. HTH -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-08-06 15:40:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The sentences are included in a drug monograph - in this case methotrexate --> e.g., http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/index.cfm?objectid=E88128E3-BDB5-82... Such monographs are a concise summary of all the scientific / pharmacological findings gained in research work (may it be internal - data on file, or external: publicly accessable journals). BUT somebody has collected these study results, in this case pharmacokinetic results. @liz, pls. note that the question was not to translate the original text or part of the sentence, but to explain the meaning. That's what I did. And if you think this was an error of mine, pls. explain, Liz, who might be "behind" this passive verbal construction: has been proposed? Who has proposed? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-08-06 15:48:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Now let's go back ... here refs. are added to the methotrexate pharmacokinetics (one section): http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search/f?./temp/~ceBYY... click - left margin -> Pharmakokinetics, find: enterohepatic recirculation, there the ref.: Physicians' Desk Reference, 58th ed. Montvale, NJ: Thomson PDR, 2004 (p. 806). *IF* we were able right now to go to p. 806, we would certainly find the specific citation(s) and the authors, who "have proposed" ... :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2010-08-06 15:54:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- We are in 1987 and 1977 now, ... -> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3815724 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/597817 ((IMO these authors might be candidates for "they who have proposed" ... !?)) |
