Genetically determined differences between selectively bred, Sardinian alcohol-preferring (sP) and -nonpreferring (sNP) rats and effects of prolonged alcohol drinking on AVP mRNA levels (attomole/μg total RNA) in the medial/central amygdala (Me/CeA) (A) and medial hypothalamus (MH) (B). Both sP and sNP rats were offered either water as the sole fluid available (alcohol-naive rats) or a free choice between 10% (v/v) alcohol and water for 17 consecutive days (alcohol-experienced rats). Rat line differences: ## p<0.01; Alcohol exposure differences: ** p<0.01, n=7–8. Note, different axes showing relative abundance of AVP mRNA levels in those two regions.
