Daily average ethanol intake, ethanol preference, water intake and body weight following CA treatment in P rats exposed to free choice of ethanol and water for five weeks. A) Effect of CA on average ethanol intake as compared to control group (g/kg/day). CA treatment induced significant reduction in ethanol intake as compared to control group starting 24 hours after the first day of treatment. B) Effect of CA on percent of ethanol preference as compared to control group. CA treatment induced significant decrease in ethanol preference as compared to control group. C) Effect of CA on water intake as compared to control group (g/kg/day). CA treatment induced a significant increase in water intake as compared to control group. D) Effect of CA on average body weight of P rats. There was no significant difference in the average body weight between the CA and control groups. Data are represented as mean ± SEM (**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001), (n=7 for each group).
