Table 2.

D50 ± S.E.M. values for GHB and haloperidol, given after 0.32 mg/kg dizocilpine or vehicle, to produce catalepsy (n = 9 for each pretreatment and treatment combination)

Pretreatment Treatment D50 (mg/kg), i.p.
Bar test Hindlimb test
Dizocilpine Vehicle GHB 345.1 ± 24.5 338.7 ± 23.8
GHB 589.5 ± 14.9 551.8 ± 9.11
Potency ratio 1.7 (1.4–2.1) 1.6 (1.3–2.0)
Dizocilpine Vehicle Haloperidol >0.56 >0.56
Haloperidol 0.20 ± 0.019 0.23 ± 0.029
Potency ratio >2.8 >2.4

The ratios of the D50 values obtained after pretreatment with dizocilpine or vehicle differed significantly from 1 because their 95% confidence limits (indicated between parentheses) did not contain 1.
