"Exposing the truth to wipe
out animal experimentation"
Government Grants Promoting Cruelty to Animals
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
GAIL D. WINGER - Primate Testing - 1976
Grant Number: 1R01DA001437-01
Project Title: BARBITURATE TOLERANCE: PROCESS AND CONSEQUENCES
PI Information: RESEARCH PROFESSOR GAIL D. WINGER,
gwinger@umich.edu
Abstract: This proposal is concerned with phenomena related to
the development of barbiturate tolerance, and some of the consequences
of this tolerance. Six projects are to be carried out over the course of
three years. These involve examining the effect of barbiturate tolerance
development on barbiturate self-administration; quantification of
barbiturate tolerance with dose-response curve shifts; determining if
differential amounts of tolerance develop depending on the "level" of
effect measured; carrying out parametric examination of barbiturate dose
and frequency of administration on rate and amount of tolerance
development; studying cross-tolerance between barbiturates and
benzodiazepenes; examining acute barbiturate tolerance.

Rats, mice, birds, amphibians and other animals have
been excluded from coverage by the Animal Welfare Act. Therefore research
facility reports do not include these animals. As a result of this
situation, a blank report, or one with few animals listed, does not mean
that a facility has not performed experiments on non-reportable animals. A
blank form does mean that the facility in question has not used covered
animals (primates, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, pigs,
sheep, goats, etc.). Rats and mice alone are believed to comprise over 90%
of the animals used in experimentation. Therefore the majority of animals
used at research facilities are not even counted.
