  1. Animals were pre-treated during 10 days with CDE (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg b.w., p.o.) or vehicle (bidistilled H2O), challenged with a single oral administration of EtOH (4 g/kg b.w.) or NaCl 9‰ for 2 h. Assays were carried out in triplicate. *: p < 0.05 compared to control group and #: p < 0.05 compared to EtOH group
