TABLE 2

Effects of the mGlu2/3 receptor agonist LY354740 or the mGlu2/3 prodrug LY544344 on baseline body temperature (in °C) in the stress-induced hyperthermia model

Data are presented as the mean (±S.E.M.) prestress core body temperature, measured at the end of the 60-min baseline period (i.e., prior to presentation of the stressor) in male DBA/2 mice.
