Analysis of physiological parameters. Two hours after alcohol intake, both young and aged animals showed a reduced Activity Score (AS) (a) and lower temperature (b) compared to mice without alcohol intoxication. Less blood could be collected from drunken young and aged mice in contrast to the sober counterparts (c). The change in the body weight did not differ significantly between the operation groups (d). Score data as not normally-distributed values were analyzed via Mann-Whitney U Test. The parameters blood loss and change body weight showed normal distributed parametric data and were analyzed with an unpaired t test for the blood loss and by two-way ANOVA for the body weight. ***p < 0.001 vs. indicated group.
