Table 1.

Exposure to alcohol during adolescence significantly changes the number and activation of adrenergic cells [phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT)] in the brain stem area (which innervates the hypothalamus – the site of stress response initiation) following an alcohol challenge in young adult and adult male rats. Note: post-natal day (PND).
