Table 2. Effects of ethanol on AEA levels in various tissues.

Effects of acute intraperitoneal administration of ethanol (4 g/kg of body mass) on AEA levels (pmol/g of tissue) in perirenal fat, liver and small intestine were measured 0, 45, 90 and 240 min after injection. Results are means±S.E.M. for five to eight determinations per group. *P<0.01 compared with the zero-time group.
