Acute ethanol administration increases phosphorylation of adrenal StAR protein. Rats were administered ethanol (2 g/kg, i.p.) and tissues were collected 60 min later. Adrenal fractions were immunoprecipitated with phospho-PKA substrate antibody, run on sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and probed with StAR. Results are reported as fold increase of phospho-StAR (EtOH vs. saline) compared to fold increase of total StAR (EtOH vs. saline) *p < 0.01 (Student's t-test), n =4.
