Early ethanol exposure in artificially-reared rats by Beatrice S Fisher A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Psychology Montana State University © Copyright by Beatrice S Fisher (1986) Abstract: The effects of early ethanol exposure on rat pup development and behavior, and later ethanol preference were examined. Artificial-rearing was used to determine the specific effects of alcohol apart from nutritional deficits. Reflex measures were used to assess the acute effects of alcohol on psychomotor development, and two-bottle preference tests were used to determine long-term effects of early alcohol expsoure on later alcohol preference. Rat pups were found to be affected by ethanol exposure to varying degrees on the reflex tests. Growth rates were normal for all artificially-reared animals, regardless of whether or not they were exposed to alcohol. The effect of early ethanol exposure on later ethanol preference was not definitive, however results were suggestive of later increased preference for ethanol following early exposure. Cataracts seen in artificial ly-reared animals were found to occur significantly more often in alcohol exposed animals than in controls.
