Effect of alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine on dose-dependent mouse strain differences in locomotor activity after ethanol.
Ethanol had biphasic effects on locomotor activity in C57Bl and BALB mice, but at different doses in the two strains. Catecholamine depletion attenuated activity increases in both strains but did not affect decreases.
