Effects of Xingnaojing Injection on Adenosinergic Transmission and Orexin Signaling in Lateral Hypothalamus of Ethanol-Induced Coma Rats

Figure 2

Effect of XNJI on orexin A level in the LHA. (a) As compared to control animals, the LHA orexin A level in ethanol-treated rats did not display a significant increase or decrease (P >0.05; LSD post hoc test; n=6). (b-d) As compared to EIC, orexin A level after XNJI posttreatment also remained unchanged (P >0.05; LSD post hoc test). Furthermore, orexin A concentration in each group was at a stable level during the experiment. See text for details.
