Table 2. Effects of DPDPE and SKF-82958 pretreatment on Ki values of DOPR agonists in inhibiting [3H]diprenorphine binding and on EC50 and Emax values of DPDPE in stimulating [35S]GTPγS binding to membranes of CHO-FLAG-DOPR/HA-D1R cells.
See Fig. 1 legend. In addition, competitive inhibition of [3H]diprenorphine by DPDPE and SNC-80 binding was conducted and Ki values were determined. Data are expressed as mean ± s.e.m. of three independent experiments performed in duplicate.
