Generalization tests were performed 30 min after application of the test compound (except for HU-210, where the injection-test interval was 120 min). In the antagonism study, pretreatment with SR 141716A (or vehicle; i.p.) occured 10 min before treatment with CP 55,940 or BAY 38-7271 (0.03 mg/kg or vehicle, i.p.; n = 6–16 rats, randomly allocated to each test condition).
