Table 1.
ED50 values and 95% confidence limits for Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) alone and in combination with various doses (0.32–3.2 mg·kg−1) of rimonabant in monkeys responding for food presentation (Food) and stimulus-shock termination (SST)
ED50 in mg·kg−1 (95% confidence limits) | Potency ratio† (95% confidence limits) | |
---|---|---|
Food | ||
Δ9-THC alone | 0.17 (0.055–0.54) | |
+0.32 Rimonabant | 0.22 (0.097–0.48) | 1.3 (0.4–4.0) |
+1 Rimonabant | 0.60 (0.19–1.9) | 3.5 (1.0–13) |
+3.2 Rimonabant | 2.3* (0.60–8.8) | 14 (3.6–50) |
SST | ||
Δ9-THC alone | 0.058 (0.024–0.14) | |
+0.32 Rimonabant | 0.13 (0.058–0.38) | 2.2 (0.6–8.6) |
+1 Rimonabant | 0.39* (0.06–2.6) | 6.7 (1.1–41) |
+3.2 Rimonabant | 0.79* (0.31–2.0) | 14 (4.0–46) |
Potency ratios and 95% confidence limits are equal to the ED50 values of Δ9-THC in combination with a dose of rimonabant divided by the ED50 value of Δ9-THC alone.
Significantly different from Δ9-THC alone.
