Table 2.
Adult (P100) male (♂) and female (♀) rats were injected with 3.0 g/kg i.p. ethanol or equivolume saline. Blood was collected 3 or 18 h after injection (Vehicle group collapsed across time points). Displayed are measures for blood ethanol concentrations (BECs; mg/dL), plasma corticosterone (CORT; μg/mL) and progesterone (PROG; ng/mL).
