TABLE 1 

The effects of haloperidol on BRET2 (Gαi-Rluc + CB1-GFP2), Gαi-dependent ERK phosphorylation, BRET2 (Gαs-Rluc + CB1-GFP2), Gαs-dependent CREB phosphorylation, and BRET2 (β-arrestin1-Rluc + CB1-GFP2)

Determined using nonlinear regression with variable slope (four parameter) in GraphPad (version 6.0). Data shown are 95% CI, from four independent experiments.
