title: [Characteristics of the formation of an ethanol preference in rats of both sexes].
abstract: A high level of initial alcoholic motivation in females is associated with a high metabolic rate as regards ethanol and a low one as regards acetaldehyde in the estrus. The diestrus period is little characteristic in this respect. A high level of alcoholic motivation in males is associated with a high metabolic rate of ethanol and a low one of acetaldehyde. The risk of ethanol preference to water formation is 1.5-2 times higher in male rats than in female ones.
