Upregulated ACTH release in adult male FAE rats exposed to (A) shocks or (B) endotoxin (LPS). In these experiments, the dams were exposed to alcohol vapors during the second week of gestation. A. Effect of the exposure to a 60-min session of mild electrofootshocks (0.5 mA, 1-s duration, 2 shocks/min) on plasma ACTH levels in control (C) and alcohol (E) male or female rats. B. Effect of the iv injection of the vehicle or LPS (0.4 μg/kg) on plasma ACTH levels in C and E male or female rats. Each point represents mean ± SEM of 5–7 animals. *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01 vs C/shocks or C/LPS rats. {Modified by permission from Lee et al.36}
