Transcription profiling of rat nucleus accumbens of alcohol-preferring animals following chronic ethanol consumption

ABSTRACT: This study investigated changes in gene expression associated with ethanol drinking in adult male P rats under the following conditions for 8 weeks: continuous access (24 hr/day, 7 days/week), multiple scheduled access (three 1-hr sessions during the dark cycle/day, 5 days/week) and ethanol-naive (water). The objective of this study was to investigate changes in gene expression associated with ethanol drinking. Adult male alcohol-preferring (P) rats were given Ethanol in their home-cages under continuous access (CA; 24 hr/day, 7 days/week) or multiple scheduled access (MSA; three 1-hr sessions during the dark cycle/day, 5 days/week) conditions for 8 weeks. A third group was ethanol-naïve (W group). Average ethanol intakes, across the 8 weeks, for the CA and MSA groups were approximately
