n = 10 mice per group for bupropion HCl alone and ethanol + bupropion HCl treatment groups.

*p Value for overall ethanol-bupropion interaction effect (ethanol effect, overall p = 0.0183; bupropion dose effect, overall p = 0.0007).

†p = 0.0019 for pairwise comparison with corresponding mean value for bupropion alone treatment.

BUP, bupropion HCl; ET, ethanol; SD, standard deviation; V, vehicle or 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl).
