ethanol group regulates dopamine

increases extracellular dopamine levels in the VTA

Extracellular DA levels were greater in rats chronically treated with ethanol during adolescence in comparison to saline-exposed controls

ethanol has been shown to alter synaptic efficacy of both glutamatergic and dopaminergic pathways

exposure to moderate doses of ethanol during adolescence produced alterations in DA during adolescence and later in adulthood
