As the sex × genotype interaction was near significance ( F (2, 89.15) = 3.00, p = 0.054), further analysis of the interaction was assessed which showed that in females, SERT −/− rats consumed significantly more ethanol than SERT +/+ ( p = 0.037), while no significant genotype differences were found among the males (Fig. 2 ).
