Article Synopsis
- Invasive species like the acorn barnacle Austrominius modestus are spreading more because of human-made structures in the ocean.
- A study at Crosby Beach looked at how these barnacles grew on human figures installed there, finding that their growth was influenced by where they were on the shore.
- Understanding how invasive species like Austrominius modestus thrive helps us predict their spread and the impact they might have on local ecosystems.
Background: 4-Methylpyrazole (4-MP), a selective inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), recently has been approved for clinical use in humans. The objective was to evaluate the use of 4-MP in human alcohol research and to study the effect of 4-MP on various parameters of alcohol metabolism during alcohol intoxication.
Methods: 4-MP (10-15 mg/kg orally) or placebo was given in double-blind fashion to 22 premenopausal women, 12 of whom were using oral contraceptives, and 13 men followed by intake of alcohol (0.
