Fig. 1. Alcohol gastric infusion in a baboon model of pregnancy.

Fig. 1

A. Schematic representation of experimental design. Each pregnant baboon underwent three infusion episodes within the human equivalent of the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. Fetal cerebral arteries were harvested following Cesarean section at 120 days of baboon gestation. B. Alcohol level in maternal blood as a function of time following gastric infusion of alcohol-containing fluid (N = 4). Animals receiving control fluid did not have detectable amounts of alcohol in the blood (for visual clarity, data points from only one out of three baboons in the control-infused group are shown). Data at each time point in alcohol- versus control-receiving groups were compared using independent unpaired t tests. *Significantly different from blood alcohol level in control-receiving group, applicable to each alcohol-/control-receiving episode, p < 0.05.
