Hi I'm studying pharmacokinetics and i was reading a study on how food can increase the F while fasted does not on ivermectin. The study was using VPc and bootstrap analysis and i could not understand either. The graph on vpc was odd looking with tre lines and i could not differentiate which was observant and simulation. Please explain? also why are there so many black dots around the second line in the middle and what does it mean?

Follow-up Question
I think am starting to understand, thank you! From this graph how the first and second line be coming down and the third up? shouldn't it be the other way around since it a oral dos a not a IV. The plasma concentration should be going up not down since its a oral intake?
