Test of role of testicular hormones in butyrate-enhanced CTA.
Mukherjee showed that HDAC inhibitors butyrate and calproate enchanced CTA in male but not female rats. Ovariectomy did not make female rats sensitive, so testing if orchiectomy reduces sensitivity of male rats.

Sham rats received incision and staples.
Carpofen 0.5 mg/kg pre-op, isoflurane and bupivicaine intra-op, carpofen 0.5 mg/kg post-op (next day). Staples removed 7 days post-op.
Day 0: Water removed 2024-7-14
Days 1-6: Water Restriction 2024-7-15 thru 2024-7-20
Weigh rats daily. Ad lib food.
30 min, 30 min, 30 min, 30 min, 30 min, 10 min water at 1415 daily.
1 water bottle, 1 empty bottle to accustom to 2-bottle choice
Day 7: Conditioning Day 2024-7-21
- 0-30 min: saccharin 0.125%
- at 30 min: 3 ml/kg of 0.15M LiCl ip (all rats)
- at 40 min: 12 ml/kg of 0.3M NaButyrate or 0.3M NaCl
ad lib water returned after final injection overnight.

Days 8 - ???: Preference Tests: 2024-7-22 to XXXX
Rats CTA acquisition and extinction was measured with 24-h, 2-bottle preference tests (for ???? days). Rats were given 24-h free access to both 0.125% saccharin and water bottles, alternating position for ??? days.
