  • F1-a  Mean ± SEM (n = 3–5 per group) levels of RNA species (as a percent of expression in the pPVN of control animals) after injection of alcohol into the peritoneum or stomach.

  • F1-1002  Statistical comparison was accomplished by two-way ANOVA with route of alcohol administration and time after injection as the variables.

  • F1-c  ND, Not determined.
