Neurochemical markers of alcoholism vulnerability in humans.

Alcohol and alcoholism (Oxford, Oxfordshire) - 1 Jan 2000

Ratsma Joelle E, Van Der Stelt Odin, Gunning W Boudewijn

Abstract excerpt

This review considers several neurochemical characteristics or trait markers that may be related to a genetic vulnerability to alcoholism. These potential neurochemical markers of alcoholism vulnerability include indices of activity of five neurotransmitter systems, namely gamma-aminobutyric acid, serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline and beta-endorphin. This review evaluates whether potential abnormalities in these...
