Effects of different concentrations of xylazine on neurons secreting the neurotransmitter Gly. At 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min xylazine was allowed to act on the neurons. (A) 15 μg/mL xylazine, (B) 25 μg/mL xylazine, (C) 35 μg/mL xylazine, (D) 45 μg/mL xylazine. ∗P < 0.05; ∗∗P < 0.01 versus control, #P < 0.05; ##P < 0.01 versus the minimum value
