Abstract
1. The potential influence of sub-chronic ethanol treatment on the ability of three chemical classes of insecticide to interact with their neuronal sites of action has been investigated in mouse brain.
2. Ethanol administration did not influence the inhibitory effects of either the cyclodiene dieldrin or the avermectin abamectin as determined by inhibition of GABA-stimulated chloride uptake.
3. Likewise there was also no discernable change in the sensitivity of sodium channels to inhibition by dihydropyrazole RH-3421 with sub-chronic ethanol treatment as assessed indirectly using a membrane potential assay.
4. The results of this study indicate that short term dietary exposure to ethanol fails to cause functional changes to the primary target sites of cyclodienes, avennectins and dihydropyrazoles in the mammalian central nervous system.
