Interaction Between Social Defeat Stress and Chronic Ethanol Exposure on Behaviors During Ethanol Withdrawal and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines in Mice: Table 3

Table 3: Organ weight of animals exposed to social defeat stress and chronic ethanol administration.


	Body weight (g)	Adrenals relative weight (g/kg)	Spleen relative weight (g/kg)	Thymus relative weight (g/kg)

Control/vehicle	56 ± 1.0	0.1215 ± 0.0037	5.0428 ± 0.2754	3.3903 ± 0.1722
Stress/vehicle	58 ± 2.7	0.1437 ± 0.0128	5.5559 ± 0.3314	2.4059 ± 0.2044^a
Control/ethanol	53 ± 2.2	0.1627 ± 0.0133^∗	5.1077 ± 0.2108	2.6612 ± 0.2575^a
Stress/ethanol	57 ± 2.3	0.1604 ± 0.0109^∗	5.5683 ± 0.7318	2.5471 ± 0.1565^a

Data are expressed as means ± SE (n = 8–9 animals per group). The organ dissection was made 48 h after the last ethanol exposure. ^∗P < .05 overall Ethanol effect; a, P < .05 relative to control/vehicle group.
