Effect of the acute, intragastric administration of different doses of GET73 on two measures of “anxiety” [number of entries into open arms (OAs; %EOAs; expressed as percent of total number of entries into arms (A))]; time spent in OAs [(%TOAs; expressed as percent of total time spent in arms (B)] in Sardinian alcohol-preferring (sP) rats exposed to the elevated plus maze (EPM) test. GET73 was administered 30 min before the EPM test. Exposure to the EPM lasted for 5 min. Entry into a given arm was scored once the rat had all four paws in that arm. Each bar is the mean ± SEM of n = 12–14. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 with respect to 0-mg/kg GET73-treated rat group (Newman–Keuls test).
