Discriminitive stimulus effects of endomorphin (EM) analogs in male rats trained to discriminate morphine injections from saline

Values represent the % maximum morphine-appropriate responding, ED50 [milligrams per kilogram, i.v. (S.E.M.)] after bolus injections made between sessions, or cumulative injections made within a single session. Response-rate impairment with the highest dose tested (5.6 mg/kg) as a percent of vehicle responding and S.E.M. of five to six rats/group.
