- Angiogenesis, or the growth of new blood vessels, is important for maintaining balance in the brain, and previous studies showed increased angiogenesis markers in rats during recovery from alcohol dependence.
- Systemic injections of the angiogenesis inhibitor endostatin reduced the likelihood of relapse to drinking in female rats but not in males, and it did not affect relapse to sucrose drinking in either sex.
- Endostatin also affected various cellular processes in the prelimbic cortex, with distinct impacts on neuroimmune and synaptic changes between genders, suggesting a new approach to treating alcohol relapse, particularly in females.
