摘要

Responsiveness to ethanol (EtOH) differs as a function of age. Adolescent rodents are less sensitive than adults to the sedative effects of EtOH, whereas they show enhanced sensitivity to EtOH-induced social facilitation. Late aging is associated with a natural decline in social behavior and aging-related peculiarities in sensitivity to EtOH have been largely unexplored. Whether there are sex differences in the behavioral response to EtOH during late aging remains unknown. Thus, behavioral responses to EtOH in male and female Fischer (F) 344 rats aged 4–5?months (adult) and 19–20?months (aging) were examined. First, the effects of saline and EtOH (0.5 and 0.75?g/kg) on social interaction were assessed. Social investigation and contact behavior were lower in aging animals and higher in females. Interestingly, in aged females, social contact behavior was increased following a 0.5?g/kg EtOH dose, whereas the same dose suppressed social contact in aged males. Behavioral sensitivity to the sedative effects of 3.0 and 3.5?g/kg EtOH was assessed with the loss of righting reflex (LORR) test. Although latency to LORR did not differ as a function of age or sex, aged rats showed significantly greater LORR duration and significantly lower blood ethanol concentrations (BECs) at regaining of the righting reflex relative to adults. In addition, females had a lower LORR duration, regardless of age; no sex differences were evident in BECs at awakening. In a second experiment, blood ethanol concentrations (BECs) over time were assessed following 0.75, 1.5, and 3.0?g/kg EtOH in 3-, 12-, and 18-month-old male and female F344 rats. Aged rats had higher peak BECs following 3.0?g/kg EtOH, whereas few age or sex differences were apparent at lower doses. Taken together, these data indicate that late aging is associated with altered sensitivity to the social facilitating effects and sedative effects of EtOH.
