Average body weights (± SE) are shown from 4 Treatment Conditions in Experiment 1 (SI, sham intubated; 2.75; 4.00; and 5.25 g) taken from the first and last day of the dosing period (PND7 and PND9, respectively). For Experiment 2, body weights were recorded for the 2 Treatment Conditions (SI, sham intubated; and Group EtOH). Significant differences in body weight compared with SI are noted with an *. Body weights taken at the beginning of preexposure (PND31) are also summarized for each experiment (Exp 1; n=94/96 rats; Exp 2; n=65). In all experiments, PND31 weights for females were significantly lower than males (Exp 1; n=47 males, 47 females; Exp 2; n=33 males, 32 females) BACs were taken from blood samples collected on the first day of dosing (PND7) from all ethanol-exposed groups (reported in mg/dl). (Exp 1 n=33 males, 35 females; Exp 2 n=16 males, 15 females) BAC - blood alcohol concentration.
