Fig. 3. The impact of MIA and AE on offspring drinking behavior.

Fig. 3

A Average alcohol consumed (g/kg) during adolescence (P 28–42) in male and female offspring from dams exposed to polyI:C (Dual) or saline (AE). There were no significant differences between groups, except during session 2 (p > 0.05; n = 9–11/group/sex from 4 dams). B Average alcohol consumed (g/kg) in a limited access paradigm across 3 weeks in adult control, MIA, AE, and dual rats. Drinking rates increased across time in all groups (p = 0.05), but Dual offspring drank significantly more alcohol than all other groups during weeks 2 and 3 (p < 0.05; n = 8–11/group/sex from 12 dams). Female rats drank more alcohol than males (p < 0.05).
