Table 1.
Blood ethanol concentration as a function of time after ethanol administration (7.5 or 37.5 min) and the different treatments employed in the present study: social condition (Experiment 1b: Homecage, paired or isolated), corticosterone (Experiment 2b: 0, 3 or 6 mg/kg), adrenalectomy (Experiment 3b: untreated, sham or adrenalectomy) and CP154,526 (Experiment 4b: 0 or 10 mg/kg). Values represent blood ethanol levels (mg%) ± SEM.
