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.
