  • High doses of DHM alone induced short-time LORR, while high dose flumazenil alone did not induced LORR. Data (mean ± SEM) were obtained from naive rats that received intraperitoneal injections of 4 g/kg EtOH (E4), coinjection of DHM (1 mg/kg) with EtOH (E4+D1), 100 mg/kg DHM (D100), 300 mg/kg DHM (D300), 20 mg/kg flumazenil (F20), or 200 mg/kg flumazenil (F200) alone (n = 8–10 rats/group).

  • aA value of 0 represents the time from intraperitoneal injection of EtOH or E+D to complete sample venous blood collection (0 to 3 min).
