"Exposing the truth to wipe
out animal experimentation"
Government Grants Promoting Cruelty to Animals
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
GAIL D. WINGER - Primate Testing - 1976
Grant Number: 1R01AA002644-01
Project Title: MODIFICATION OF ALCOHOL SELF-INFUSION
PI Information: RESEARCH PROFESSOR GAIL D. WINGER,
[email protected]
Abstract: The primary thrust of this grant proposal is to pursue
findings obtained in earlier work and in preliminary investigations
which indicate that intravenous alcohol self-administration can be
modified by drug pretreatment, might be modified by physical dependence
development, but might not be altered by tolerance development. In three
separate studies, rhesus monkeys with chronically implanted venous
catheters will receive intravenous infusions of alcohol, contingent on
lever responses and according to schedules of reinforcement. Variables
of access time and non-contingent infusions of alcohol and other drugs
will be appropriately manipulated and effects observed on rates and
patterns of both alcohol and food-reinforced responding in order to
determine the effect of intoxication, tolerance, and dependence on the
reinforcing property of alcohol.

Rats, mice, birds, amphibians and other animals have
been excluded from coverage by the Animal Welfare Act. Therefore research
facility reports do not include these animals. As a result of this
situation, a blank report, or one with few animals listed, does not mean
that a facility has not performed experiments on non-reportable animals. A
blank form does mean that the facility in question has not used covered
animals (primates, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, pigs,
sheep, goats, etc.). Rats and mice alone are believed to comprise over 90%
of the animals used in experimentation. Therefore the majority of animals
used at research facilities are not even counted.
