Abstract excerpt
Fluorescent probes located in different membrane regions were used to evaluate effects of ethanol (50 and 100 mM) on structural parameters (protein distribution, fluidity of total and annular lipid, and thickness of the bilayer) of synaptic plasma membranes (SPMs) from brain cortex of High-Alcoho...
