Figure 1:

Paternal ethanol exposure heightens ethanol intake in the offspring. Ethanol or water intake, expressed as % body weight gained in an intraoral infusion test, in 14-day old rats, as a function of paternal treatment (ethanol [PE], vehicle [PV] or untreated control [UT]). The asterisk sign indicates that water intake was, regardless paternal treatment, significantly lower (p ≤ 0.05) than ethanol intake. The pound sign indicates that ethanol drinking was significantly greater (p ≤ 0.05) in PE rats, male or females, than in PV or untreated controls. Groups were composed by 10 or 13 animals, Vertical bar indicate SEM.
