The aim of this study was to determine whether protein kinase C (PKC) contributed to the effects of ethanol ingestion to prevent P-selectin expression, leukocyte rolling (LR), and stationary leukocyte adhesion (LA) induced by subjecting the small bowel to ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) 24 hr later. I/R increased P-selectin expression, LR, and LA, effects that were largely abolished by antecedent ethanol consumption. Exposing the bowel to a specific but nonisoform-selective PKC inhibitor (chelerythrine or bisindolylmaleimide I) during the period of ethanol exposure did not alter the anti-inflammatory effects induced by ethanol ingestion 24 hr prior to I/R. Go-6976, a PKC inhibitor that exhibits a high degree of selectivity for the calcium-dependent PKC isoforms, markedly reduced the effectiveness of antecedent ethanol exposure to abrogate these postischemic inflammatory responses. Our data indicate that antecedent ethanol exposure prevents postischemic P-selectin expression, LR, and LA by a mechanism that involves activation of calcium-dependent PKC isotypes.

Objective: Alcohol-induced blackouts are a marker of risk such that they are strong independent predictors of experiencing other adverse alcohol-related social and health effects. Existing work informed by the Theory of Planned Behavior suggests that several of the constructs contained within it, such as perceived norms, personal attitudes toward consumption, and drinking intentions, are reliable predictors of alcohol use, related problems, and blackout experiences. However, research to date has not examined these theoretical antecedents as predictors of change in the occurrence of alcohol-induced blackout.

Despite accumulating evidence indicating reciprocal interrelations between pain and alcohol consumption, no prior work has examined pain as a proximal antecedent of drinking. The goal of the current study was to test the effects of experimental pain induction on ad-lib alcohol consumption among moderate-to-heavy drinkers without chronic pain ( = 237; 42% female; 37% Black; = 3.26).

In this pilot project, we assessed the effect of a painful thermal stimulus on drinking topography in a virtual reality bar environment using real alcohol-containing beverages. We also examined psychosocial factors that may account for individual differences in pain as an antecedent for alcohol use.

Rationale: Alcohol consumption is a common antecedent of aggressive behavior. The effects of alcohol on the decision to engage in aggression in preference over pro-social interaction are hypothesized to arise from augmented function within the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC).
Objective: In a newly developed procedure, we studied social decision-making in male C57BL/6 J mice based on preferentially seeking access to either sociosexual interactions with a female partner or the opportunity to attack an intruder male.
