In Alcohol and Hormones, leading researchers concisely review what
is known about each human hormone system and how these systems are
affected by alcohol use, to a lesser extent, other drugs of abuse.
The contributors show clearly just how the body is regulated and
how its normal functioning can be changed by alcohol.
Major topics covered range from alcohol-stress interactions and the
effects of alcohol on vitamin A metabolism (fetal alcohol syndrome
and neural tube development) to how alcohol blocks the release of
various peptide hormones, to its effects on puberty-related events
in the female. There are also articles about how alcohol affects
the control of body temperature, the impact of alcohol on male
sexual development during puberty, the role of TRH in alcohol use
disorders, and the possibility for a neuroendocrinological
component in alcoholism.
Alcohol and Hormones will be of interest to biomedical and alcohol
researchers, neurobiologists, endocrinologists, pharmacologists,
psychiatrists, and some clinicians interested in a deeper
understanding of the effects of alcohol on the body.
