Evaluation of mice weight and calories intake in control and treated group

	Control	Treated
Food intake (g/kg/day)	181.4 ± 16.8	120.0 ± 4.5**
Liquid intake (g/kg/day)	182.7 ± 9.7	104.9 ± 4.8****
Food calories (kcal/kg/day)	721.2 ± 66.9	477.2 ± 17.9**
Liquid calories (kcal/kg/day)	–	105.5 ± 6.4
Total calories (kcal/kg/day)	721.2 ± 66.9	657.1 ± 60.52
Ethanol intake (g/kg/day)	–	7.4 ± 0.9
% EDC	–	16.1
Initial body weight (g)	40.3 ± 0.9	40.1 ± 0.8

Daily food and liquid intake (g or mL/kg/day) and body weight (g) were measured during 12 days of 15% ethanol administration, in both control and treated males. Total calories were calculated from food and ethanol consumption (kcal/kg/day). Mean ethanol intake is expressed in g/kg/day and % EDC (percentage of ethanol-derived calories). Values are expressed as mean ± s.e.m. Student’s t test, 10 males per group
