Figure 1. B6xFVB and FVBxB6 F1 hybrid females consume stable, large amounts of ethanol from a high ethanol concentration solution.
Voluntary ethanol (EtOH) consumption during continuous access two-bottle choice presented as g/kg/day (mean ± SEM). d = day, for example d25–28 = days 25–28. a. FVBxB6 (open circles) female mice were used for the first set of experiments (ethanol-experienced group, n=23). b. B6xFVB (open squares) female mice were used for the repeated LORR experiment (ethanol-experienced group, n=9). c. FVBxB6 (open triangles) female mice were used for the ethanol clearance experiment (ethanol-experienced group, n=4). Figures 1b and c represent a second set of experiments carried out at the same time.
