Taste preference of the adult rat as a function of prenatal exposure to ethanol.
Two groups of pregnant rats (n = 10) received exposure to either 10% ethanol or water. All male offspring (n = 43) received a six-day preference test (ethanol vs water) at 90 days of age. Fluid consumption scores indicated a significant preference for water by all Ss. However, those animals receiving prenatal ethanol exposure consumed significantly more ethanol during preference testing than did the animals receiving prenatal water exposure.
