Table 1. Neonatal ethanol treatment, but not preadolescent lobeline treatment, significantly decreases mean body weight.

Indicates significant difference between rats receiving neonatal ethanol treatment when compared with control animals (non-treated control and intubated control combined). Lobeline did not impact body weights. Data are expressed as mean±SEM * P<0.05.
