Effect of the acute, intragastric administration of low (A), moderate (B), and high doses (C) of GET73 – tested in three independent experiments – on the “alcohol deprivation effect” (ADE) in Sardinian alcohol-preferring (sP) rats. Alcohol (10% v/v, in water) was offered under the standard, homecage two-bottle “alcohol vs water” choice regimen with unlimited access for 24 h/day. Alcohol-deprived rats were deprived of alcohol for 14 consecutive days; alcohol-non-deprived rats had continuous access to alcohol and water. Thirty minutes before representation of the alcohol bottle (which coincided with lights off), both alcohol-deprived and -non-deprived rats were treated acutely with GET73. Alcohol intake was registered 60 min after lights off. Each bar is the mean ± SEM of n = 7–18. *P < 0.05 with respect to alcohol-non-deprived rats receiving 0 mg/kg GET73 (Newman–Keuls test); +P < 0.05 with respect to alcohol-deprived rats receiving 0 mg/kg GET73 (Newman–Keuls test).
