TABLE 7.

Potency ratios of morphine and mitragynine alone in the presence of various compounds to produce discriminative-stimulus, rate-decreasing, and antinociceptive effects in either morphine- or mitragynine-trained rats

Each potency ratio (95% CIs) is a combination of females and males unless otherwise noted. The ED50 values of morphine and mitragynine alone are shown in Table 4. The sample sizes are described in each figure legend (Figs. 710). Significant differences are italicized.
