... the interaction of ethanol, morphine or barbiturate with cocaine on mean arterial pressure (MAP), cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO 2 ) in newborn pigs. CBF, CMRO 2 and cerebral O 2 extraction (CECO 2 ) were measured before and 4 and 10 min after cocaine (1.5 mg/kg i.v...

...Harumi Tanaka; Setsuo Iwasaki; Kazuharu Nakazawa; Kenichirou Inomata As a possible preventative measure for brain dysfunction in the fetal alcohol syndrome, the effect of zinc or vitamin E supplementation together with ethanol on the fetal cerebrum was investigated in rats. Contrary to our...

...D. López-Tejero; E. Arilla; B. Colás; M. Llobera; E. Herrera Some aspects of small intestine maturation have been studied in the newborns from chronic ethanol-treated pregnant rats (25% ethanol in drinking fluid) immediately after birth (before suckling) and after 30 days of life. Litters delivered...

...Ann K. Snyder; Sant P. Singh; Gordon L. Pullen; Svetlana Eman Maternal ethanol ingestion reduced the uptake of [ 14 C]-α-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) by placenta and fetal liver, lung and brain when compared with pair-fed or ad libitum-fed controls. The ratios between fetal tissue and plasma...

...Sant P. Singh; T. Yokoo; H. Yokoo; Ann K. Snyder; S.K. Singh Fetal rat pancreata exposed to ethanol in utero were examined for morphometric analysis of insulin secretory granules and insulin content. The β-cells contained both dark and light granules, and their volume density was unaltered...

...B.H.J. Gordon; M.L. Streeter; P. Rosso; M. Winick On day 20 of gestation, after ethanol feeding (27% ethanol calories, 25% protein), placental weights, DNA, RNA and water content were greater than in controls pair-fed an isocaloric diet without ethanol or those ad lib fed a pellet diet of similar...

...S.N. Pennington; R.A. Rumbley; D.G. Woody Several studies have suggested that ethanol consumption may alter prostaglandin metabolism and that this alteration may represent the molecular mechanism underlying certain of the pathophysiological consequences of chronic alcoholism. Our laboratory...

...Richard D. Zachman; Mary A. Grummer Fetal exposure to ethanol disrupts normal craniofacial development, resulting in characteristic features of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). One mechanism that could result in some anomalies of this syndrome is through ethanol disrupting the regulatory role played...
