Acute ethanol administration induces hypothermia in genetically susceptible animals. Tolerance to this effect may develop with repeated administration. Allopregnanolone is an endogenously produced neuroactive steroid that acts at the GABA-A receptor. We postulated that allopregnanolone would induce hypothermia, and that lines of mice selectively bred for high (COLD-1 and COLD-2) or low (HOT-1 and HOT-2) sensitivity to ethanol's hypothermic effects would also be differentially sensitive to allopregnanolone-induced hypothermia. We also postulated that tolerance would develop to these two drugs by similar mechanisms, such that tolerance to one would impart cross-tolerance to the other.
