KLB is associated with alcohol drinking, and its gene product β-Klotho is necessary for FGF21 regulation of alcohol preference [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016
Excessive alcohol consumption is a major public health problem worldwide. Although drinking habits are known to be inherited, few genes have been identified that are robustly linked to alcohol drinking. We conducted a genome-wide association metaanalysis

Ibudilast reduces alcohol drinking in multiple animal models of alcohol dependence [PDF]

open access: yesAddiction Biology, 2015
Neuroinflammatory signaling pathways in the central nervous system are of current interest as potential pharmacotherapy targets for alcohol dependence. In this study, we examined the ability of ibudilast, a non-selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor, to ...

The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue semaglutide reduces alcohol drinking and modulates central GABA neurotransmission

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2023
Growing evidence indicates that the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) system is involved in the neurobiology of addictive behaviors, and GLP-1 analogues may be used for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD).

Three Weeks of Binge Alcohol Drinking Generates Increased Alcohol Front-loading and Robust Compulsive-Like Alcohol Drinking in Male and Female C57BL/6J Mice.

open access: yesAlcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2021
BACKGROUND Current models of compulsive-like quinine-adulterated alcohol (QuA) drinking in mice warrant improvements to be more useful for uncovering neural mechanisms of compulsive-like alcohol drinking.

Role of Alcohol Drinking in Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), increase as the population ages around the world. Environmental factors also play an important role in most cases.
