Long Evans rat pups were treated with 50 μl i.p. injections of saline (vehicle)
or 2.0 mg/kg ethanol in saline on postnatal days 2, 4, 6, and 8. On postnatal
19, rats (N=12/group) were subjected to 10 rotarod test trials in which speed of
the rotating rod was incremented with each trial. Latency to fall was recorded.
Data from Trials 1-3 (2-5 rpm), Trials 4-6 (5-7 rpm), or Trials 7-10 (8-10 rpm)
were culled and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. Significant inter-group
differences are shown in the panels. |
