Abstract. Consider a mean-reverting equation, generalized in the sense it is driven by a 1-dimensional centered Gaussian process with Hölder continuous paths on [0, T] (T> 0). Taking that equation in rough paths sense only gives local existence of the solution because the non-explosion condition is not sat-isfied in general. Under natural assumptions, by using specific methods, we show the global existence and uniqueness of the solution, its integrability, the continuity and differentiability of the associated Itô map, and we provide an Lp-converging approximation with a rate of convergence (p> 1). The regu-larity of the Itô map ensures a large deviation principle, and the existence of a density with respect to Lebesgue’s measure, for the solution of that general-ized mean-reverting equation. Finally, we study a generalized mean-reverting pharmacokinetic model. Contents
