Increased voluntary ethanol intake after dietary salt-loading in rats. 1986

G Eisenhofer

The effect of dietary salt-loading on selection for 5% ethanol compared with dilute solutions of citric acid was examined in 9 male rats. Compared with 9 control rats maintained on a normal diet, salt-loaded rats exhibited significant increases in ethanol consumption and ethanol selection. Selection for ethanol remained elevated after resumption of the normal diet.
