Influence of prenatal ethanol exposure on hormonal responses to @entity1338 and XXXX in prepubescent male and female @entity35 .

The expression of sexually dimorphic behavior has been found to be altered in adult animals following prenatal @entity167 exposure. The present study examined whether such exposure would alter the sexually dimorphic response of luteinizing hormone (LH) to @entity1338 and @entity1510 observed in normal prepubescent animals. Both LH and @entity2819 (CS) were measured in 16 day old male and female @entity35 30 min after injection of @entity1510 (2 mg/kg) or @entity1338 (0.1 mg/kg). Prenatal @entity167 exposure did not influence the LH response to either drug in females. An LH response to @entity1338 in normal males did not occur, but it was present in the males exposed to @entity167 in utero and in the pair-fed controls. Prenatal @entity167 exposure influenced the CS response to both drugs. CS levels were @entity308 in the @entity1510 -treated males prenatally exposed to @entity167 compared to their saline-injected counterparts. The CS levels of other groups following @entity1510 administration were unchanged compared to saline injection. Normal animals of both sexes exhibited an elevation in CS levels following @entity1338 . However, this stimulatory effect of @entity1338 on CS release was absent in both female and male animals prenatally exposed to @entity167 . The results of this study indicate that prenatal @entity167 exposure may alter noradrenergic and opioid modulation of @entity2819 and possibly of LH in young animals.
