Figure 3

Lick ratios (mean ± SE) for B6 and D2 mice to concentration series of QHCl (A), PROP (B), MgCl₂ (C), and RUA (D). The dotted lines on each graph represent a ratio score of 1.0, which indicates a lick rate equal to that of water. Asterisks identify significant strain effects at particular concentrations, as indicated by planned comparisons (p < 0.01). Lick ratios for each strain generally decreased with increasing concentration; B6 made fewer licks than D2 mice to high concentrations of QHCl (A) and PROP (B), and to both low and concentrations of MgCl₂ (C). D2 mice made fewer licks than B6 mice at almost all concentrations of RUA (D).
