Alcohol-related brain damage (ARBD) constitutes a major global public health issue and is often comorbid with neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death characterized by iron dependency and lipid peroxidation, has been impl...

The aim of this study was to define and compare the molecular blueprints of chronic alcohol use in the liver and skeletal muscle using an established pre-clinical mouse model.

To explore the diet-microbiome-host-drug efficacy axis in chronic alcohol-increased anaesthetic use. Fecal metabolites were comprehensively extracted, detected and analyzed to identify differential metabolic profiles induced by chronic alcohol consumption, providing a basis for revealing the corr...

Alcohol dependence is a chronic, relapsing encephalopathy characterized by compulsive craving for alcohol, loss of control over alcohol use, and the presence of negative emotions and physical discomfort when alcohol is unavailable. Harmful use of alcohol is one of the greatest risk factors for de...

The impact of alcohol on the body can be investigated with NMR spectroscopy in vitro, which can detect a wide range of metabolites but preparing samples includes tissue biopsy. Blood sampling is less invasive, but blood metabolic content might not reflect the changes occurring in other t...

Purpose: Alcohol-induced damage to bone microstructure leads to alcoholic osteopenia (AOP). While prior studies have demonstrated alcohol's negative impact on bone density, the mechanisms by which alcohol induces osteoporosis through immune pathways, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and metabolic altera...

Alcohol-associated fatty liver disease (AFLD) is driven by ethanol-induced metabolic dysregulation and hepatic inflammation, with gut dysbiosis and endotoxin-triggered innate immune activation implicated in disease progression. Platycodin D (PD), a triterpenoid saponin from Platycodon grandifloru...
