TABLE 2

Kinetic binding parameters for association and dissociation of [3H]almorexant and [3H]Cp-1 in hOX1 and hOX2 membranes and of [3H]SB-674042 in the hOX1 membranes

The Kob, Koff, Kon, t½, and Kd values are mean ± S.E. calculated from three independent experiments (each performed in quadruplet) as described under Materials and Methods.
