The electronic energy loss and the straggling of the energy loss of the degenerate electron gas for excited H*-, He*-, He**-, and Li*-like ions were calculated. The results were compared with the corresponding characteristics for ions kept in the ground state. The linear response theory was used. The ion was described by the Hartree-Fock-Slater formalism and the medium by the dielectric function. The stopping and straggling effective charges Z_{ef} for the energy loss were analysed and they were found to differ from each other and to depend on the one-electron radius r_{s}, on the ion atomic number Z_{i}, and on the number of electrons N_{i} carried by the ion.
