1 Mice lacking adenylyl cyclase type 5 (AC5) show increased ethanol consumption and reduced ethanol sensitivity. Ethanol adenylate cyclase 5 Mus musculus
2 Mice lacking adenylyl cyclase type 5 (AC5) show increased ethanol consumption and reduced ethanol sensitivity. Ethanol adenylate cyclase 5 Mus musculus
3 AC5 has been shown to be an essential mediator of morphine addiction and dopamine receptor function; however, it remains unknown whether or not AC5 plays a role in ethanol preference and sensitivity in animals. Morphine adenylate cyclase 5 Mus musculus
4 OBJECTIVE: This work was carried out to determine the role of AC5 in alcohol consumption and the hypnotic response to alcohol using AC5 knockout (KO) mice. Alcohols adenylate cyclase 5 Mus musculus
5 RESULTS: In the test for ethanol preference employing a two-bottle free-choice paradigm, AC5 KO mice showed increased ethanol consumption and preference compared with the wild-type mice. Ethanol adenylate cyclase 5 Mus musculus
6 RESULTS: In the test for ethanol preference employing a two-bottle free-choice paradigm, AC5 KO mice showed increased ethanol consumption and preference compared with the wild-type mice. Ethanol adenylate cyclase 5 Mus musculus
7 Ethanol-induced hypothermia was weakly reduced in AC5 KO mice. Ethanol adenylate cyclase 5 Mus musculus
8 AC5 KO mice exhibited sedation/behavioral sleep to high-dose ethanol, but their responses were greatly suppressed compared with the wild-type mice. Ethanol adenylate cyclase 5 Mus musculus
9 CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that AC5 is an important signaling molecule regulating alcohol sensitivity and preference in animals. Alcohols adenylate cyclase 5 Mus musculus
