Discontinuous versus Continuous Drinking of Ethanol in Peripubertal Rats: Effect on 24-Hour Pattern of Hypophyseal-Gonadal Axis Activity and Anterior Pituitary Oxidative Stress

Abstract: Aims: Discontinuous (weekend) consumption of alcohol is common in adolescents and young adults. This study therefore assesses, in peripubertal male rats, the effect of discontinuous as compared to chronic feeding of ethanol or control liquid diet. Methods: Animals received an ethanol liquid diet (6.2 % w/v) starting on day 35 of life. Every week for 5 weeks, the discontinuous ethanol group received the ethanol diet for 3 consecutive days and the control liquid diet for 4 days. At the 5th week, 24 h after the l… Show more

“…Of note, even with regular replacement of media in our cultures, it is likely that the effective concentration within PCLS is likely to be lower than 100mM as we have observed up to 30% decrease in effective concentration over 24 h due to evaporation in cell free wells (not shown). This is of interest because we may be incidentally mimicking physiological discontinuous exposure patterns caused by patterns of sleep or weekend consumption of alcohol, which are associated with reduced systemic oxidative stress but enhanced immune activation in animal models compared with continuous exposure (Fernandez-Mateos et al, 2012). However, we would need to compare maintained exposure and interrupted exposure using a perfusion delivery system to assess whether such patterns of exposure alter immune cell recruitment in the human system.…”
