  • Results are expressed as pKB; the n values and antagonist concentrations are given in parentheses. N.E., No effect. L.S., Potentiation, reflected by leftward shift in the concentration-response curve.

  • 2-a Estimated pKB, as there was a marked reduction in the agonist-induced maximum response.
