Repeated ethanol intoxications of Drosophila melanogaster adults increase the resistance to ethanol of their progeny

CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that repeated daily intoxications can affect the progeny's response to ethanol in fruit flies. Our findings will hopefully unleash the power of D. melanogaster to explore conserved pathways underlying the transmission of ethanol tolerance and thus contribute to novel strategies for the management of alcohol use disorders.PMID:34120365 | DOI:10.1111/acer.14647
