Results are expressed as a percentage of the value before drug administration, and are given as the mean ± S.E. of data from seven to eight animals. The values show the maximum response during the observation for 30 min after the drug administration.

  • 3-a Indicates significant difference from saline control (0 μg/kg) (P < .05).
