Figure 3.
Effect of CA on ethanol intake and preference during the extinction phase. Rats continued to have free access to three bottles containing water, 15% ethanol, and 30% ethanol. Rats received either CA (5 mg/kg/day) or saline for seven days during the extinction phase. Ethanol intake (A), preference (B), water intake (C), and body weight (D) were measured daily during the extinction phase. CA significantly decreased ethanol intake and preference during Day 1–7 of the extinction phase. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, and ****p<0.0001. (n = 7–12)
