Effect of ethanol administration to male C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice on serum levels of GABAergic neuroactive steroids. Ethanol (2 g/kg, 20% v/v in saline) or saline were administered i.p. 60 minutes before sacrifice. Levels are expressed as pg/ml and are average ± SEM of 4–14 mice per group (exact number is indicated in each bar). 3α,5β-THP, 3α,5β-THDOC and 3α,5β-androstandiol were undetectable. *p<0.01, **p<0.005 and ***p<0.001 vs the respective saline-treated group in each strain; unpaired t-test comparing the saline- and ethanol-treated groups for each strain. #p<0.0005 vs the saline-treated C57BL/6J group; unpaired t-test comparing only the saline-treated groups.
