1 The effects of acute and chronic ethanol administration, and withdrawal on the binding of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), was investigated in rat brain. 2 Acute ethanol (2 to 4 g/kg i.p. 30 min before removal of brain) produced an increase in the binding capacity of the low affinity GABA receptor binding site. 3 Following chronic ethanol administration (1 to 21 days), the GABA receptor binding characteristics were not altered. These results suggest a possible adaptation of GABA receptors to the continuous presence of ethanol at the GABA synapse. 4 During ethanol withdrawal, the affinity of the low affinity GABA receptor binding site was significantly lower than pair‐fed controls at 8 and 16 h withdrawal. 5 These results suggest that GABA receptor sensitivity may play a role in some of the neuropharmacological effects of ethanol and in its withdrawal symptoms.
