DNA Damage, DNA Repair, and Alcohol Toxicity—A Review

TL;DR: The goal of this review is to integrate recent results from the fields of mutagenesis and DNA repair with the alcohol toxicity literature, with the aim of stimulating research into the role of DNA damage in different types of alcohol toxicity and therole of DNA repair in protecting cells from alcohol-related damage.

Gender differences in alcohol metabolism: Relationship to liver volume and effect of adjusting for body mass

TL;DR: Women have greater clearance of ethanol per unit lean body mass, confirming previous oral alcohol administration studies, and explaining the equivalent alcohol elimination rates seen when men and women are compared on the basis of liver size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence-based survey of the elimination rates of ethanol from blood with applications in forensic casework

TL;DR: The present evidence-based review suggests that the physiological range of ethanol elimination rates from blood is from 10 to 35 mg/100mL/h, which can hopefully serve as best-practice guidelines when questions arise in criminal and civil litigation about the elimination rate of ethanol from blood in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Possible interaction of alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase genes with the dopamine D2 receptor gene in anxiety-depressive alcohol dependence.

TL;DR: ANX/DEP ALC is a specific subtype of alcohol dependence and the DRD2 gene was not found to be associated with pure alcohol dependence or ANx/DEP, but was found to been associated with ANX/DEV ALC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protective association of genetic variation in alcohol dehydrogenase with alcohol dependence in Native American Mission Indians

TL;DR: These results are consistent with genetic linkage studies showing protective associations for alcohol dependence and related behavior on chromosome 4 and suggest that ADH2 polymorphisms may account for these findings.
