Rats were exposed to increasing air ethanol concentrations (14-28 mg/liter) over a 10-day period without the use of pyrazole. There was a positive correlation between the rising air ethanol concentrations in the chamber and the concentrations of ethanol in the blood. On the 10th day the animals were removed from the chamber with a mean blood ethanol concentration of 3.13 mg/ml and observed for signs of withdrawal over a 24-h period. During this time all animals manifested spontaneous signs of withdrawal and convulsions on handling. There was a positive correlation between the spontaneous signs and convulsions on handling. The disappearance of ethanol from the blood followed 0-order kinetics over the first 7 h. In the withdrawal phase a definite negative correlation existed between the decreasing blood ethanol concentrations and the rise in scores for convulsions on handling. This inhalation procedure was a simple, reproducible approach for causing physical dependence on ethanol in rats without the use of pyrazole and with the maintenance of original body wt.
