摘要
Tolerance to ethanol and cross-tolerance to other alcohols (n-propanol, n-butanol, t-butanol, isobutanol, t-amyl alcohol, n-amyl alcohol, and benzyl alcohol) and barbiturates (pentobarbital, secobarbital, amobarbital, thiopental, barbital and phenobarbital) that differ in lipid:water partition coefficient was examined in rats after chronic pretreatment with ethanol. Tolerance and cross-tolerance were studied with three different measures (hypothermia, tilt-plane, and rotarod). Tolerance to ethanol resulted in significant cross-tolerance to alcohols with low lipid solubility (n-propanol and t-butanol), whereas no cross-tolerance was seen with alcohols of high lipid solubility (isobutanol, n-amyl alcohol, t-amyl alcohol and benzyl alcohol). Cross-tolerance to n-butanol (which has intermediate lipid solubility) appeared to be metabolic rather than functional. Tolerance to ethanol also resulted in significant cross-tolerance to barbital and phenobarbital, but not to pentobarbital, secobarbital, amobarbital or thiopental. These studies suggest that lipid solubility is an important factor in relation to specificity of cross-tolerance to alcohols and barbiturates. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Inc.
