Basal extracellular DA concentration (DAext) and in vivo extraction fraction (Ed) in rat Acb 3 d after a 5 d treatment with cocaine with or without the selective κ-opioid receptor agonist U-69593
| Treatment | DAext(nm) | Ed | n |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle + saline | 10.9 ± 2.1 | 0.22 ± 0.03 | 12 |
| U-69593 + saline | 13.3 ± 2.1 | 0.11 ± 0.011-a | 10 |
| Vehicle + cocaine | 11.4 ± 1.7 | 0.31 ± 0.061-b | 12 |
| U-69593 + cocaine | 9.9 ± 2.5 | 0.18 ± 0.031-a,1-b | 13 |
U-69593 significantly decreased Ed (p < 0.05 by main effect identified by two-way ANOVA.
Cocaine significantly increasedEd (p < 0.05 by main effect identified by two-way ANOVA).
