Article Synopsis
- Binge drinking causes rapid changes in neuroimmune gene expression and activates the HPA axis, which can lead to serious health issues.
- Using rats, researchers investigated the impact of corticosterone (CORT) on these changes, finding that blocking CORT synthesis prevented the alteration of specific immune-related genes caused by ethanol.
- Experiments concluded that the effects of ethanol on neuroimmune gene expressions could be replicated with CORT administration, while other receptor inhibitors had no significant impact, indicating the importance of CORT in binge drinking effects.
