Dear stat_be!

❝ […] my doubts related to inter subject CV% and intra subject CV%.

So you are talking about a cross-over design.

❝ 1. Can inter subject CV% greater than intra subject CV? if yes then in what situation it may happen and what conclusion can be drawn on that basis?

Yes, this is the rule. In a cross-over design the PK responses within a particular subject are compared (between occasions).
I hardly can imagine a situation where variability between subjects (i.e., Brown vs Blair) is lower than within a subject (i.e., Brown on day 1 vs Brown on day 2). Although theoretical possible from a statistical point of view, such a behaviour is counterintuitive, and IMHO not a single case is described in the literature.
BTW, the expectation of CV_intra < CV_inter leads to the general preference of cross-over designs over parallel designs in BE studies.

❝ 2. what are the formulas to calculate to both of them from GLM Anova?

For formulas see this post.
