Rats were treated with vehicle, 0.5 × LD10 (68 mg/kg) or 1 × LD10 (136 mg/kg). Rats were observed for involuntary movements and scored according to the protocol described in the Materials and Methods section. Data represent median ± inter-quartile range. Data were analyzed using MANOVA (JMP statistical package).

Asterisks represent values statistically different from respective controls (p< 0.05).

Pound signs represent values statistically different from the low dose group (p< 0.05).
