n.a., not applicable.
Emax, ED50, and slope parameters were derived from two sets of dose-response curves determined in triplicate (i.e., six dose-response curves).
Significant difference from cocaine as determined by one-way analysis of variance with repeated measures and post-hoc Dunnett’s test for multiple comparisons.
