a ACTH (top panel) and b CORT (bottom panel) levels before and after mother-infant separation in Alcohol and NoAlcohol monkeys carrying the s allele (Short) or l/l (Long) genotype. Time postseparation represents baseline samples (BASE) and samples collected at 2 hours and 26 h after separation. Subjects per group: n (Alcohol, Long)=10; n (Alcohol, Short)=9; n (NoAlcohol, Long)=11; n (NoAlcohol, Short)=8. a ACTH levels were highest in the Alcohol, Short group 2 hours postseparation by comparison with all other groups [F(1,36)=4.90; p=0.03)]. b CORT was higher overall in monkeys carrying the short versus long allele at 26 h postseparation [F (1,36)=5.60; p=0.02]. ACTH, adrenocorticotropic hormone; BASE, baseline samples; CORT, cortisol.
