Following an alcohol challenge in adulthood (3.2g/kg via ig on PND 90), adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) exposure significantly decreased plasma CORT concentrations in male rats compared to the control group (CON) in adulthood. There was no significant blood alcohol level (BAL) difference observed between AIE and control groups at any given time point in adulthood. All male rats were exposed to alcohol vapor for 6 hours per day from PND 28 to PND 42, and blood samples were collected for analysis at each time point of interest. (Top) Data are expressed as mean ± SEM CORT level of 4 male rats per group. *P < 0.05. (Bottom) Data are expressed as mean ± SEM BAL of 4 male rats per group.
