Human beings are engaged in permanent ‘self-management’, which adjusts physical well-being and interaction with the environment. There are two major ways humans react when homeostasis is threatened. Firstly, one may change the perception and cognitive interpretation of the self in the environment....

(AFlicgouhreol2-i)n: duced modulation of these enzymes may also affect the drug's pharmacokinetics (Figure 2, [11]). Accumulation of acetaldehyde may induce disulfiram-like reaction. In general, the following alcohol-drug interactions have been reported (Figure 2): Biomedicines 2019, 7, 16...
Heavy alcohol consumption has been associated with brain atrophy, neuronal loss, and poorer white matter fiber integrity. However, there is conflicting evidence on whether light-to-moderate alcohol consumption shows similar negative associations with brain structure. To address this, we examine the assoc...
To be included as part of the alcohol-dependent cohort, subjects had to meet the following criteria: greater than 18 years of age, no head injury at the time of death, lack of developmental disorder, no recent cerebral stroke, no history of other psychiatric or neurological disorders, no ...
We search MEDLINE with the terms “interaction” OR “drug interaction” OR “drug–drug interaction” AND each of the following drugs: benzodiazepines, acamprosate, baclofen, disulfiram, sodium oxybate, naltrexone and nalmefene. We have included all papers with an abstract in English or in other...
Since Prx1 was determined to be localized on the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and interacts with CYP2E1 [47], it is likely that this oxidative inactivation of Prx1 contributes to increased ROS production and fatty liver following alcohol exposure. Based on the conserved ...
In the non-parametric tests, the effect size was performed with the probability of superiority (PSest) [33].The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to assess the correlation between variables. The correlation coefficients were interpreted using the following thresholds: trivial (< 0.1), small ...

Immediate (acute) effects of alcohol useAlcohol exerts a depressive effect on the brain. The blood-brain barrier does not prevent alcohol from entering the brain, so the brain alcohol level will quickly become equivalent to the blood alcohol level. In the brain, alcohol interacts with various ne...
