Abstract excerpt
Both male and female mHEP rats consume excessive amounts of ethanol and thus offer a rational model for examining biochemical and behavioral differences with non-drinking rat lines. Differences in basal concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) correlate with the consumption of ethanol in some ethanol-preferring rat lines. The concentrations of 5-HT and DA were examined by HPLC in five brain...
