Postnatal Administration of Allopregnanolone Modifies Glutamate Release but Not BDNF Content in Striatum Samples of Rats Prenatally Exposed to Ethanol

Figure 1

Panel (a): ³H-Glu uptake from rat striatal slices; Panel (b): ³H-Glu fractional release induced from rat striatal slices by 28 mM K⁺. Control (white bars) or prenatal ethanol-exposed (gray bars) male rats were injected with allopregnanolone (65 μg/kg) or vehicle on P21, 2.5 h before the experiment. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM (–9) (different letters indicate statistically significant differences).
