dc.description.abstract | In separate experiments, nine (n=20) and fifteen (n=12) month old rats were treated with either 6% ethanol or 12% sucrose (to balance caloric intake) in the drinking water to examine the effect of chronic ethanol consumption on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis of aged rats. Rats were maintained on these treatment regimens for thirty days and were killed by decapitation. Blood was collected and plasma concentrations of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and corticosterone were determined by radioimmunoassay. Adrenal glands were cleaned, quartered and used to test in vitro responsiveness to ACTH. Anterior pituitary glands from all 15 month old rats and one half of the nine month old rats were collected, frozen and extracted for measurement of tissue ACTH concentration. The remaining anterior pituitary glands from the nine month old rats were challenged with corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) to test in vitro responsiveness. In nine month old rats, chronic ethanol consumption decreased plasma ACTH and corticosterone (P In vitro responsiveness of the adrenal gland to ACTH in nine month old rats consuming ethanol was unchanged (P > 0.05). Plasma ACTH and corticosterone concentrations were also decreased in 15 month old rats chronically consuming ethanol (P 0.05). The results of these experiments indicate that chronic ethanol consumption decreases hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function in aged rats. | en_US |
