English term or phrase: milk-plasma-ratio

Dear all,

I struggle with the following sentence from a SPC:

"The overall milk-to-plasma exposure ratio of total radioactivity was approximately 2."

I usually would translate "milk-to-plasma ratio" as "Milch-Plasma-Verhältnis" and "overall exposure" as " Gesamtexposition".

However, here the two terms are mixes in a way that I just don't manage to create a meaningful sentence. I would translate it as "Gesamtverhältnis der Milch-Plasma-Exposition" but that just does not sound right.

I am thankful for your help!

Best,
Nicole.

In deinem Text geht es wahrscheinlich um präklinische Untersuchungen mit radioaktiv markierter Substanz. Insgesamt wurde eine Verteilung (Quotient) der Gesamtradioaktivität von 2:1 (Milch:Plasma) nachgewiesen.

So in etwa wie oben skizziert:
"Insgesamt wurde ein Milch/Plasma-Quotient der Gesamtradioaktivität von 2 nachgewiesen."

Notes to answerer

Asker: Lieber Harald, Danke für deine Antwort. Was der M/P-Quotient ist, ist mir schon bekannt. Es ging mir hier eher um die meiner Ansicht nach sonderbare Mischung der Wörter "overall milk to plasma exposure ratio". Hast du einen Tipp zur Übersetzung? Danke und viele Grüße, Nicole.

Asker: Danke !! Viele Grüße.
