Validation of kinetic modeling of progesterone release from polymeric membranes.

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model that describes progesterone controlled release from poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) membranes was proposed and a statistical analysis was conducted to compare the fitting of the model with six different models and the Akaike information criterion (AIC) was used to find the equation with best fit.
