Intermittent ethanol exposure increases the number of cerebellar microglia.
AIMS The number of cerebellar microglia after 5(1)/2 months of continuous or intermittent ethanol exposure was studied using the optical dissector method. METHODS Male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: an intermittently ethanol-exposed group, a continuously ethanol-exposed group and a control group (n = 6 in each group). The intermittently treated rats had two ethanol-withdrawal per...
متن کاملWithdrawal from intermittent ethanol exposure increases probability of burst firing in VTA neurons in vitro.
Changing the activity of ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons from pacemaker to burst firing is hypothesized to increase the salience of stimuli, such as an unexpected reward, and likely contributes to withdrawal-associated drug-seeking behavior. Accordingly, pharmacological, behavioral, and electrophysiological data suggest an important role of the VTA in mediating alcohol-dependent b...
متن کاملRepeated cycles of chronic intermittent ethanol exposure increases basal glutamate in the nucleus accumbens of mice without affecting glutamate transport
Repeated cycles of chronic intermittent ethanol (CIE) exposure increase voluntary consumption of ethanol in mice. Previous work has shown that extracellular glutamate in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is significantly elevated in ethanol-dependent mice and that pharmacologically manipulating glutamate concentrations in the NAc will alter ethanol drinking, indicating that glutamate homeostasis play...
متن کاملDevelopmental exposure to ethanol increases the neuronal vulnerability to oxygen-glucose deprivation in cerebellar granule cell cultures.
Prenatal alcohol exposure is associated with microencephaly, cognitive and behavioral deficits, and growth retardation. Some of the mechanisms of ethanol-induced injury, such as high level oxidative stress and overexpression of pro-apoptotic genes, can increase the sensitivity of fetal neurons towards hypoxic/ischemic stress associated with normal labor. Thus, alcohol-induced sequelae may be th...
متن کاملEffects of ageing and intermittent ethanol exposure on rat locus coeruleus and ethanol-withdrawal symptoms.
In this study, the effects of ethanol and age on the morphology of the locus coeruleus (LC) and on the severity of ethanol-withdrawal symptoms were studied during a 5-week intermittent ethanol exposure. Young (3-4 months) and old (29-30 months) male Wistar rats were given highly intoxicating doses of ethanol by intragastric intubations for 4 days, followed by a 3-day ethanol-withdrawal period. ...
