Dietary Compensation by Humans for Supplemental Energy Provided as Ethanol or Carbohydrate in Fluids
TL;DR: Dietary adjustment for energy derived from ethanol is imprecise, but also indicate energy from carbohydrate elicits little dietary response when ingested in a beverage, demonstrating dietary compensation for modifications of energy intake via fluids is less precise than when solid foods are manipulated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is alcohol consumption a risk factor for weight gain and obesity
TL;DR: Experimental metabolic evidence suggests that the consumption of moderate amounts of alcohol has to be accounted for in the energy-balance equation and may represent a risk factor for the development of a positive energy balance and thus weight gain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin-6 as a central mediator of cardiovascular risk associated with chronic inflammation, smoking, diabetes, and visceral obesity: down-regulation with essential fatty acids, ethanol and pentoxifylline.
TL;DR: Practical protective measures may be of particular value to patients with pre-existing atheroma and elevated plasma levels of acute-phase reactants, since IL-6 plays a crucial physiological role in osteoclast generation and activation, and these measures may also aid preservation of bone density.
Journal ArticleDOI
De novo lipogenesis, lipid kinetics, and whole-body lipid balances in humans after acute alcohol consumption.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the consumption of 24 g alcohol activates the hepatic DNL pathway modestly, but acetate produced in the liver and released into plasma inhibits lipolysis, alters tissue fuel selection, and represents the major quantitative fate of ingested ethanol.

Sex differences in pattern of drinking
F.E. Lancaster,K.S. Spiegel +1 more
TL;DR: Preference ratios were higher for females than males, and females consumed more grams of alcohol per unit of body weight when alcohol concentration was doubled, while males tended to titrate alcohol intake to levels consumed at 5% concentration.
