Adrenocortical response to acute and chronic ethanol administration in rats
Psychopharmacology
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
Acute ethanol administration (2 g/kg IP) induced a significant rise in serum corticosterone levels which seemed to be related to blood ethanol concentration. Chronic ethanol administration, in the form of a liquid diet for 16 or 30 days, did not alter the levels of serum corticosterone. Chronic treatment of rats with a liquid diet containing ethanol resulted in the development of tolerance.
