Dose (mg/kg), n = 10 per group |
Total no. of convulsions | Mean (SD) convulsions per mouse | |||
| BUP | ET + BUP | BUP | ET + BUP | p Value | |
| 0 (V or ET +V) | 0 | 2 | 0.00 (0.00) | 0.20 (0.63) | 0.1027* |

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).
