Table 1. Effect of Hypovolemia on Some Physiologic Characteristics in Rats Treated With γ-Hydroxybutyric Acid or an Equimolar Solution of Sodium Chloride
Results are expressed as mean ± SD.
*P < 0.05, γ-hydroxybutyric acid compared with sodium chloride.
†P < 0.05, hypovolemia compared with the control group; one-way analysis of variance, followed by Newman–Keuls test if appropriate.
GHB =γ-hydroxybutyric acid (390 mg · kg−1· 5 min−1); NaCl = sodium chloride; Paco2= arterial carbon dioxide tension; HCO3−= hydrogen carbonate.
