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.

regulation and disease prevention Dietary Components and Immune
Function focuses on immune modulation, immune mediated disease
resistance, immune changes due to AIDS, immune modulated cancer
therapy, and autoimmune diseases as modified by dietary supplement,
bioactive foods and supplements. The potential value of such

Chronic alcohol use is associated with heart, liver, brain, and
other organ pathology. Alcohol is a drug of abuse and a caloric
food and it causes poor intake and absorption of nutrients, thus
playing a major role in many aspects of clinical consequences.
Alcohol use lowers consumption of fruit and vegetables, lowers
tissue nutrients, and, in some cases, requires nutritional therapy
by clinicians."Alcohol, Nutrition, and Health Consequences"will
help the clinician define the causes and types of nutritional
changes due to alcohol use and also explain how nutrition can be
used to ameliorate its consequences. Chapters present the
application of current nutritional knowledge by physicians and
dietitians. Specific areas involving alcohol-related damage due to
nutritional changes are reviewed, including heart disease, obesity,
digestive tract cancers, lactation, brain function, and liver
disease. In addition, alcohol's effects on absorption of minerals
and nutrients, a key role in causing damage are treated. The
importance of diet in modifying alcohol and its metabolite damage
is also explained.
"Alcohol, Nutrition, and Health Consequences"is essential
reading for alcohol therapists and researchers as well as primary
care physicians and dietitians and is an easy reference to help the
clinician, student, and dietitian comprehend the complex changes
caused by direct and indirect effects of ethanol at the cellular
level via its nutritional modification. "
