- Abstract
Rats prenatally exposed to ethanol (E) typically show increased hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) responses to stressors in adulthood. Importantly, prenatal ethanol may differentially alter stress responsiveness in male and female offspring, suggesting a role for the gonadal hormones in mediating the effects of ethanol on HPA activity. We investigated the role of ethanol-induced changes in hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) activity in the differential HPA regulation observed in E compared to control females across the estrous cycle.
