  1. Mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: the vehicle (10 ml/kg, p.o.) group, PCW (1.35 g/kg, p.o.) group and AMG9810 (30 μmol/kg, p.o.)-treated group for rotarod test, open-field test or body temperature assessment. Significant differences were not observed in the locomotion or body temprature tests between vehicle and PCW (1.35 g/kg. p.o.) groups, while AMG9810 (30 μmol/kg, p.o.) significantly increased rectal temperature compared to vehicle or PCW (1.34 g/kg. p.o.) groups. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. (n = 6)
