Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) did not correlate with deoxycorticosterone (DOC, left) or aldosterone (right), mineralocorticoids produced in the zona glomerulosa (both) and zona fasciculata (DOC) of the adrenal gland, at baseline (a–b), during the first 6 months (c–d) or during the second 6 months (e–f) of 22 hours/day access to ethanol in rhesus monkeys that became non-heavy (open circles, ≤ 3.0 g/kg/day) and heavy (closed, > 3.0 g/kg/day) drinkers on average over 12 months of access.
