Oxytocin inhibits total ethanol consumption during three-bottle choice limited access. Rats had access to ethanol and saccharine solutions for 2-h daily, preceded by either saline or oxytocin I.P. injections 30 min earlier. Pre-injection and post-injection treatment periods represent average ethanol consumption for all rats after daily saline injections during the 4-day periods before and after oxytocin injections, respectively. Oxytocin injection data represent average ethanol consumption across all rats for each dose of oxytocin. All rats received each dose of oxytocin once in a randomized, non-confounded order via a Latin Squares design. Each line represents a different dose that was administered. Data are represented as mean (total ethanol consumption [g/kg]) ± SEM. * indicates p < 0.05 compared to pre- and post-treatment days.
