The concept of moderate consumption of ethanol (beverage alcohol) has evolved over time
from considering this level of intake to be nonintoxicating and noninjurious, to encompassing …

Measurements of calcium uptake and cyclic GMP production by cerebellar granule cells
grown in primary culture demonstrated that ethanol preferentially inhibited N‐methyl‐D‐…

microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate expression by promoting degradation or repressing translation
of target transcripts. miRNA target sites have been catalogued in databases based on …

Much evidence from studies in humans and animals supports the hypothesis that alcohol
addiction is a complex disease with both hereditary and environmental influences. Molecular …

Prior biochemical and electrophysiological studies have shown that low doses of ethanol
inhibited calcium influx through the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor/ionophore. The …

Background: Estimates of the performance of carbohydrate deficient transferrin (CDT) and
gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) as markers of alcohol consumption have varied widely. …

This manuscript reviews the proceedings of a symposium organized by Drs. Antonio Noronha
and Fulton Crews presented at the 2003 Research Society on Alcoholism meeting. The …

Aims: To develop a panel of markers able to extract full haplotype information for candidate
genes in alcoholism, other addictions and disorders of mood and anxiety. Methods: A total of …

Animal models are important tools in the study of alcohol use, abuse, and dependence
because they allow researchers to use methods that cannot be used with human subjects. …

Studies of the neurobiological predisposition to consume alcohol (ethanol) and to transition
to uncontrolled drinking behavior (alcoholism), as well as studies of the effects of alcohol on …
