Fig. 1. Pain hypersensitivity in rats withdrawing from chronic intermittent ethanol vapor exposure.

Fig. 1

Adult male Long-Evans rats were intermittently and randomly exposed to ethanol vapor (CIE, n = 18) or Air (AIR, n = 18) for 8 weeks. a The blood ethanol concentrations (BECs) were randomly collected from 11 of 18 CIE rats and measured once per week. b The body weight of rats during 8-week CIE or Air exposure (n = 11/group). c The physical withdrawal scores of CIE and AIR rats at 4, 8, 12, and 24 h abstinence after 8-week vapor exposure (n = 18/group). d, e The average paw withdrawal threshold or latency of rats before and after 8-week chronic vapor exposure (CIE n = 18, AIR n = 15). All data are expressed as mean ± SEM. ***p < 0.001, ^^^p < 0.001, ¤¤¤p < 0.001 vs. Air group, ###p < 0.001 vs 8–24 h withdrawal time within CIE group by two-way RM ANOVA.
