English term

smooth plasma metformin peak and trough levels

English to Spanish Medical Medical (general)
Estoy traduciendo un artículo titulado "Safety, tolerability, and efficacy of metformin extended-release oral antidiabetic therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes: An observational trial in Asia".

"Absorption of MIR occurs predominantly in the upper GI tract, with peak serum concentrations achieved within 3 h. Although it remains unknown how metformin causes GI side-effects, extended-release
metformin (MXR) formulations that delay time to peak metformin plasma concentrations and **smooth
plasma metformin peak and trough levels** may lead to improved tolerability compared with MIR."

MIR = immediate-release metformin

peak and trough levels = concentraciones máximas y mínimas

¿A qué se refiere "smooth" aquí?

Gracias nuevamente

En geometría, "peak" y "trough" se suelen traducir como "pico" y "valle" de una curva, respectivamente.

Reference:

Se refiere a que al ser una formulación de liberación má lenta y por ende extendida en el tiempo, el pico de concentración plasmática que se alcanza es menos abrupto o agudo, resultando en una forma más "suave" o alisada del pico. Al alcanzarse una concentración máxima menor, los efectos adversos son también supuestamente menos frecuentes.
