Resumo:

Chronic alcohol abuse causes neurotoxicity and the development of tolerance and dependence. At the molecular level, however, knowledge of underlying mechanisms remains limited. In this study we examined the superior frontal cortex, an area vulnerable to neuronal loss, of alcoholics and age- and gender-matched control subjects by means of antibody arrays and Western blot analyses, and found an upregulation of b-catenin protein in the alcoholics.
