Acetylation phenotype in abstinent alcoholics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
No association between acetylation phenotype and alcoholism was discovered. Fifty-four percent of both the alcoholic patients and healthy volunteers were rapid acetylators. Acetylation phenotyping is not helpful to the investigation of the genetics of alcoholism.

Auditory brainstem potentials in sons of alcoholic fathers.
With the use of event-related brain potentials we have observed sensory as well as cognitive deficits in abstinent alcoholics. By recording auditory brainstem potentials (BSP) from abstinent alcoholics we demonstrated significant delays in brainstem transmission time. We have also reported that P3 amplitudes are significantly reduced in abstinent alcoholics compared to control subjects. Althoug...
متن کاملAuditory sensory gating deficit in abstinent chronic alcoholics.
P50 event-related potential was studied in abstinent chronic alcoholics to determine whether they had normal sensory gating. Repeated tones were presented to 17 recently detoxified chronic alcoholic patients and 17 healthy subjects while EEG was recorded. Low-resolution tomography (LORETA) was performed to obtain cerebral sources of P50. Abstinent chronic alcoholics showed reduced P50 sensory g...
متن کاملArginine challenge unravels persistent disturbances of urea cycle and gluconeogenesis in abstinent alcoholics.
AIMS Data on recovery from hormonal and metabolic sequelae of alcoholism in strictly controlled alcohol abstinence are mainly restricted to short-term abstention. Our previous findings of persistently decreased plasma and urinary urea concentrations in long-term abstinent alcoholics prompted us to further elucidate this unexplained phenomenon. METHODS The response of circulating urea cycle me...
متن کاملSubcortical volumes are reduced in short-term and long-term abstinent alcoholics but not those with a comorbid stimulant disorder☆
Chronic alcohol abuse affects brain structure and function. We examined subcortical structure volumes in 77 short (6-15 week) and 90 long (multi-year) term abstinent alcoholics, along with 74 controls. We used a 3T Siemens MPRAGE sequence for image acquisition and FSL FIRST software for measuring subcortical volumes. When examining alcoholics without a comorbid stimulant disorder we found reduc...
متن کاملVisual P300s in long-term abstinent chronic alcoholics.
BACKGROUND Evidence of reduced P3b amplitudes in chronic alcoholics and individuals at risk for developing alcoholism suggest that the P3b may be an endophenotypic marker for alcoholism. If this is the case, then long-term abstinent alcoholics (LTAAs) should exhibit reduced P3b amplitudes. Thus far, P3b studies on chronic alcoholics have focused primarily on samples with relatively short-term a...
