“CONCLUSION Th anine ca n affect the sedative effect of low dose pen tobarbital sodium in bidirectional action style but not change the hypnosis effect.”
“Compared with normal saline, pentobarbital sodium (10 mg x kg(-1)) and the combination with theanine decreased significantly PATP (all P<0.01).”
“ Theanine enchanced hypnosis effect of pentobarbital sodium in dose-dependent manner.”
“… pentobarbital sodium (10 mg x kg(-1)), 0.25 g x kg(-1) theanine combined with that increased PATP [(25.….98)%, P<0.01)] and 0.5 g x kg(-1), 1.0 g x kg(-1) theanine could depresse that increase [(14.56 +/-…)% vs (10.08 +/- 7.98)%].”
