Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Plasma concentration of methylphenidate and ritalinic acidPredose and 3 hours post-dose

We are looking at the ratio of methylphenidate to ritalinic acid (metabolite) 3 hours post-dose as a measure of CES1 activity.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Metabolomic ProfilePredose/pre-meal, predose/post-meal and 3 hours post-dose

Three samples for each participant during the trials (as indicated above). Metabolomics will be assessed with focus on lipids (lipid platform) and with use of usual concentration measures (eg nanomolar (nM))
