Selective breeding of rats differing in voluntary ethanol consumption.
Selective breeding of Wistar rats for the voluntary ethanol consumption is being carried out. Five generations have been achieved of ethanol high preferring and ethanol low preferring lines. Significant segregation between lines has been accomplished. In general, the results obtained replicate the previous findings with the genetic selection for voluntary ethanol consumption with the exception of poor results of downward selection.
