Effect of body weight on ethanol-induced taste aversion learning
1990
Abstract Saccharin aversions were conditioned using ethanol (EtOH) in rats of different body weights. There was a nonuniform relation between EtOH dose (g/kg) and strength of conditioned taste aversion. Heavier rats learned stronger aversions at the same dose, and a weak dose (i.e., 1.0 g/kg) was effective only in heavier rats. It is suggested that rats be equated on body weight in studies of EtOH-induced taste aversion learning and in studies of EtOH preference.
