“ Atropine , probably by acting on muscarinic binding sites, seemed to have a specific inhibitory effect on voluntary 24 hr ethanol intake, which was similar to the effect induced by the ethanol injections.”
“In group AS a negative correlation was found in the striatum between the ethanol intake recorded after the atropine injection in week 5 and 6 and muscarinic binding sites.”
“In group AS, atropine reduced 24 hr voluntary ethanol intake with a maximal effect following the 4 mg/kg dose.”
