Comparison of Ethanol Intake (averaged by cycles) Between Adolescent and Adult Rats

Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 3
Adolescent 2.5% CY3 8.49 ± 0.3a 7.70 ± 0.2a 6.66 ± 0.1
Adult 2.5% CY3 5.26 ± 0.1 5.13 ± 0.1 4.80 ± 0.1c
Adult 3.5% CY3 7.21 ± 0.2b 7.00 ± 0.2b 6.88 ± 0.2

Ethanol intake averaged by cycles for male adult and adolescent rats. 2.5% and 3.5% ethanol diet (ED) groups were exposed to three 5-day cycles of ED interspersed with two 2-day withdrawal periods, during which rats received control diet (CD). These data are an average of daily intake for each 5-day cycle. Data represent means ± SEM for 8 rats/group.

p < 0.05 compared to adult 2.5% & 3.5%ED.

p < 0.05 compared to adolescent 2.5%ED.

c

p < 0.05 compared to adolescent 2.5%ED and adult 3.5%ED.
