Effects of Propranolol (PRO) and L-DOPA (LD) on forepaw adjusting steps. Five min after pretreatments with Vehicle (VEH) or PRO (20 mg/kg, ip), rats (n=10) received treatments of VEH or LD (4 mg/kg + benserazide 15 mg/kg, sc), leading to four treatment conditions [VEH+VEH, PRO(20)+VEH, VEH+LD(4) and PRO(20)+LD(4)]. Sixty min after VEH or LD, forepaw adjusting steps were counted. Bars denote the average percent stepping in the lesioned forepaw compared to the intact forepaw ± standard error of the mean (S.E.M.) *p < 0.025 when compared with VEH+VEH, + p < 0.05 when compared with all.
