    W R Proctor
    Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Research Service, Denver, Colorado, USA
    J Pharmacol Exp Ther 305:264-70. 2003
    ..These results suggest that PKCgamma and PKCepsilon signaling pathways reciprocally modulate both ethanol enhancement of GABA(A) receptor function and hypnotic sensitivity to ethanol...

    Alcohol Clin Exp Res 28:1277-83. 2004
    ..These congenic mouse strains are ideally suited for asking which QTL regions might correlate with other phenotypes that differ between ILS and ISS mice. Here we used the congenics to investigate altered GABAA responses to ethanol...
