Although analysis of the blood ethanol concentration following the challenge dose of 2.0g/kg revealed no interaction of age, genotype and dose, there was a main effect of genotype and dose (p’s <0.05). Specifically, the repeated-saline group demonstrated a greater BEC than the 3.0g/kg and 3.5g/kg groups, and D2 mice exhibited greater BEC’s than B6 mice.
