  1. aValues are expressed as the mean ± SEM of at least three independent measurements
  2. bAntagonist potency (IC50) determined versus EC90 of U50,488H for KORs and EC50 of SNC-80 for DORs
  3. cDegree of antagonism (Imax) normalized to nor-BNI for KORs and 4b for DORs
  4. dAgonist efficacy expressed as percent stimulation
