Abstract

The development of tolerance to ethanol was studied in two strains of rats, UChA (low ethanol consumer) and UChB (high ethanol consumer), by the sleeping time test. Marked tolerance (perhaps both metabolic and tissue) appeared in UCh A rats, while only a slight tissue tolerance and not a metabolic one appeared in the UChB rats, when they were offered 10% ethanol as the sole fluid during 31 days ( p<0.001). In UChA, but not in the UChB rats, the chronic treatment with ethanol induced tolerance to pentobarbital as shown by the same test.
