Differential effects of enrichment on hypothalamic and pituitary gene expression. (A) Hypothalamic Crh expression was significantly reduced in the standard-housed Alc abstn group, and unaltered by enrichment. (B) Pituitary pomc1 expression was significantly reduced in the standard-housed Alc Abstn group but was significantly elevated in the enriched group. (C) Pituitary Drd2 expression was not significantly altered by alcohol abstinence. Alc Abstn SH: 2 week alcohol abstinence in standard housing conditions; Alc Abstn EE: 2 week alcohol abstinence in environmentally enriched housing conditions. 5–6 mice per group. 1-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Bonferroni's t-test: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
