Summary of the interactions between our unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS) procedures and an acute injection of alcohol (EtOH) or saline (SAL) upon the total protein expression of constitutively expressed Homer proteins within the nucleus accumbens (NAC) shell (A) and the NAC core (B). Representative immunoblots for each protein of interest are also included. The data are expressed as a percent change in optical density of non-stressed controls mice (Control) injected with SAL. The data represent the means ± SEMs of 12 mice/group. *p<0.05 vs. respective SAL group; +p<0.05 vs. respective Control (unstressed) group (LSD post-hoc tests).
