Table 3.
Summary of results of behavioral assays. Data are reported for mice on the high ω-3 diet compared to mice on the low ω-3 diet.
| Assay | B6 mice | D2 mice |
|---|---|---|
| Ethanol-induced locomotor activation | High < Low | High < Low |
| BEC at low ethanol dose | no difference | no difference |
| LORR onset | no difference | no difference |
| LORR duration | no difference | High > Low |
| BEC at RORR | no difference | High < Low |
| Ethanol consumption | High > Low | no difference |
| Ethanol preference | High > Low (trend) | no difference |
| Total fluid intake | High > Low | no difference |
| Ethanol pharmacokinetics at 3.8 g/kg | no difference | High > Low |
BEC = blood ethanol content, LORR = loss of righting reflex, RORR = regaining of righting reflex
