title: Effects of different diets on voluntary consumption of ethanol in UChA and UChB rats.
abstract: Based on the decrease of voluntary consumption of ethanol observed in rats of UChA (low ethanol consumer) and UChB (high ethanol consumer) strains, coincident to the use of a new issue of a commercial diet, the effects of two new diets devoid of animal food were studied. One of these diets (Diet 3) induced an increase of the voluntary consumption of ethanol in a proportion of UChA rats, in such a way that its frequency distribution curve resulted in a bimodal one because of the presence of individuals which drank as much alcohol as UChB rats. This diet is a useful tool for the study of eventual nutrimental factors which decrease ethanol intake.
