Effect of ASF (a Compound of Traditional Chinese Medicine) on Behavioral Sensitization Induced by Ethanol and Conditioned Place Preference in Mice

Figure 3

Spontaneous activity (mean ± SEM, counts in 15 min) in the 5 tests during the 10-day period of treatment, immediately after ethanol or saline administration. Mice were pretreated with ASF or saline 30 mins before the test (data were analysed by One-way repeat measures ANOVA and followed by Bonferroni posttest). Groups: saline + saline (S + S, ), ASF + saline (Z + S, ), saline + ethanol 2.2 g/kg (S + E, ), and ASF + ethanol 2.2 g/kg (Z + E, ). ^*Higher levels than S + S group in tests 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (). ^#Higher activity levels than in tests 1 2, and 3 (), ^▲Z + E group Higher levels than S + S group, Z + S group in tests 4 and 5 (), ^▼S + E group Higher levels than Z + S group in 2, 3, 4, and 5 tests ().
