Figure 5. Communal housing selectively elevated hippocampal formation nuclear glucocorticoid receptor (GR) levels in saccharin (SAC) control offspring.

Figure 5

Anti-GR immunoreactivities were measured in nuclear fractions prepared from the hippocampal formation of postnatal day 40–50 SAC and prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) offspring that had been reared under standard or communal nest conditions, as described in the Materials and Methods. Nuclear GR levels were higher in PAE than is SAC offspring reared in standard nest conditions; (* p<.02). Nuclear GR levels in SAC offspring reared in communal nests were higher than in SAC offspring reared in standard nest conditions; (** p<.01).
