EB treatment reduced water intake stimulated by 24 h water deprivation. (A) Analysis of licks in 10 min bins revealed that intake lasted for 40 minutes post water bottle access. Intake during the first 10 min was significantly greater than intake at all other timepoints. During this time, EB-treated rats had less licks than oil-treated rats and (B) a 1 min bin size analysis did not reveal any additional time specific changes in intake. (C) 40 min water intake was reduced when rats were treated with EB. (D) Licks for water were greatest during the first 10 min (bin 1) of testing. Regardless of time, EB treatment reduced licks, compared to Oil treatment. (E) EB treatment significantly reduced burst number, (F) but had no effect on burst size (licks/burst). ^#Less than oil during bin 1. ^aGreater than all other time bins. ^bLess than bin 1, but greater than bins 5-12. ^cLess than bin 1, but greater than bins 9-12. ^dLess than bins 1-3. ^eLess than bins 1-4. *Less than oil, p < 0.01. +Greater than licks during bins 2-4.
