note = "Funding Information: offspring were injected with 3.5 g/kg ethanol. Sleep time was monitored, and in randomly selected individuals brain ethanol levels were determined upon awakening. In order to assess the rate of metabolism in the treated and control offspring, blood ethanol levels were determined in other randomly selected individuals at 60 and 120 min post injection. Offspring who received phenobarbital prenatally were resistant to the hypnotic effects of ethanol as evidenced by their 33% shorter sleep time compared to controls (p < 0.001). While ethanol metabolism did not differ between groups, the brain ethanol levels upon awakening were higher than control in the offspring born to the barbiturate-treated mothers (p < 0.001). This indicates that the resistance to ethanol was due to factors residing within the central nervous system. Supported by NIH Grants DA 1951 and DA 2365.",
