  • In Experiment A, PB (80 mg/kg) and/or PK11195 (the dose indicated in the table) were given once to rats. In Experiment B, PB and/or PK11195 were given to rats for 4 consecutive days.

  • 1-150  Significantly different from the control (P < 0.05).

  • 1-153 Significantly different from the PB-treated group (P < 0.05).
