Abstract

The prostaglandin system has been implicated in mediating both the acute and chronic pharmacologic effects of alcohol. The effect of blockade of prostaglandin synthesis by indomethacin on genetically based alcohol preference in C57BL/6, C3H/He, and BALB/c mice was examined. Although strain typical alcohol preference patterns were observed, there was no effect of indomethacin on either naive or preestablished alcohol preference and consumption. Genetically transmitted alcohol preference may be a complex system in which prostaglandin synthesis does not play a part.
