The renal clearance (CLR), metabolic clearance (CLm), and total clearance (CLT) of GHB determined after the concomitant treatment with D-mannitol, L-lactate, or D-mannitol/L-lactate. The control was administered with GHB (208 mg h−1 kg−1) only. L-Lactate was administered at a dose of 60.5 mg h−1 kg−1 by i.v. infusion, D-mannitol was administered as an i.v. bolus dose of 0.5 g/kg, and Man + Lact represents the combined treatment with D-mannitol and L-lactate. One-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's test, n = 3-8, mean ± S.D. **, p < 0.01.
