Correlations between changes in mood and endocannabinoids and <i>N</i>-acylethanolamines in a pleasant ambiance without alcohol.
<p>A) 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), B) anandamide (AEA), C) palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), D) docosahexaenoylethanolamide (DHEA), E) oleoylethanolamide (OEA), and F) stearoylethanolamide (SEA). The figure shows spearman rank correlations with ranked values on both axes of the panels. n = 16.</p
Changes in endocannabinoids and <i>N</i>-acylethanolamines after mood inductions by ambiance and moderate alcohol consumption.
<p>(A) 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), (B) anandamide (AEA) and related compounds (C) palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and (D) stearoylethanolamide (SEA). Black bars represent pleasant ambiance with alcohol; white bars represent pleasant ambiance without alcohol; grey bars represent unpleasant ambiance with alcohol; striped bars represent unpleasant ambiance without alcohol. PEA and SEA concentrations are increased 30 min after a meal in the unpleasant ambiance, but decreased after a meal in the unpleasant ambiance (*<i>P</i> = 0.073; ** <i>P</i> = 0.036). n = 16.</p
Postprandial changes in (A) serum free fatty acid and (B) cortisol after mood inductions.
<p>White bars represent pleasant ambiance with alcohol; grey bars represent unpleasant ambaince with alcohol; black bars represent pleasant ambiance without alcohol; striped bars represent unpleasant ambiance without alcohol. Cortisol concentration is more decreased 120 min after a meal with alcohol than without alcohol (*<i>P</i> = 0.001). n = 28.</p

Correlations between autonomic nervous system parameters and subjective feelings (nβ=β28)<sup>1</sup>.
1<p>All values are mean [correlation coefficient (<i>r</i>)] and 95% confidence interval after Fisher's <i>z</i> transformation. Correlations are shown when <i>r</i>β=β0.0 is not part of the confidence interval and when <i>r</i>>0.5 or <i>r</i><β0.5.</p><p>Abbreviations: SNS: sympathetic nervous system; PNS: parasympathetic nervous system; SC: skin conductance; HF power: high frequency power; B-BAES, brief biphasic alcohol effects scale; POMS, profile of mood states; PPW: postprandial wellness questionnaire; BT: body temperature.</p

Influence of ambiance and alcohol on POMS happiness scores (A) and B-BAES stimulation scores (B).
<p>βββ Pleasant, alcohol-free; ββ’β Pleasant, alcohol; βΞβ Unpleasant, alcohol-free; ββ΄β Unpleasant, alcohol; - - start alcohol consumption (tβ=β0). (<b>A</b>) Happiness scores were higher 20 min and 50 min after alcohol consumption compared to no alcohol consumption (<i>P</i><0.001 and <i>P</i><0.05, respectively). Happiness scores were lower in the unpleasant ambiance without alcohol than in the pleasant and unpleasant ambiance with alcohol (<i>P</i><0.001) and in the pleasant ambiance without alcohol (<i>P</i><0.05). (<b>B</b>) Stimulation scores were decreased from 20 min until 50 min after alcohol consumption, which did not occur after consumption of alcohol-free drinks (<i>P</i><0.05 vs. <i>P</i>β=β1.0). Stimulation scores tended to be higher in the pleasant ambiance without alcohol than in the unpleasant ambiance without alcohol (<i>P</i>β=β0.08).</p
Influence of ambiance and alcohol on skin conductance.
<p>βββ Pleasant, alcohol-free; ββ’β Pleasant, alcohol; βΞβ Unpleasant, alcohol-free; ββ΄β Unpleasant, alcohol; - - start alcohol consumption (tβ=β0). Skin conductance was higher 25 min after alcohol consumption compared to no alcohol consumption (<i>P</i><0.001). Skin conductance decreased more from 25 min until 155 in the pleasant ambiance than in the unpleasant ambiance (<i>P</i>β=β0.042). The values shown at time point β5, 25, 55 and 115 are averages of the mean skin conductance levels measured during three succeeding 2 min time frames.</p
