Functional role of the polymorphic 647 T/C variant of ENT1 (SLC29A1) and its association with alcohol withdrawal seizures. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Adenosine is involved in several neurological and behavioral disorders including alcoholism. In cultured cell and animal studies, type 1 equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT1, slc29a1), which regulates adenosine levels, is known to regulate ethanol ...

Plasma homocysteine is a predictor of alcohol withdrawal seizures

NeuroReport, 2000
An adaptive consequence of prolonged ethanol consumption is a compensatory up-regulation of NMDA receptors in certain brain areas. Taking into account that homocysteine and its breakdown products (i.e. homocysteic acid) are putative neurotransmitters and agonists at the NMDA receptor, the aim of this study was to assess the influence of levels of ...

Risk assessment of alcohol withdrawal seizures with a Kohonen feature map

Neuroreport, 2001
Recently, it has been suggested that alcohol-induced hyperhomocysteinaemia in patients suffering from chronic alcoholism might be a risk factor for alcohol withdrawal seizures. In the present follow-up study 12 patients with chronic alcoholism who suffered from withdrawal seizures had significantly higher levels of homocysteine (Hcy) on admission (71 ...

Activity of hippocampal adult-born neurons regulates alcohol withdrawal seizures. [PDF]

JCI Insight, 2019
Alcohol withdrawal (AW) after chronic alcohol exposure produces a series of symptoms, with AW-associated seizures being among the most serious and dangerous. However, the mechanism underlying AW seizures has yet to be established.

Alcoholic withdrawal syndrome and seizures [PDF]

Alcohol and Alcoholism, 1994
A study of 72 alcoholics, hospitalized for alcohol withdrawal syndrome, was undertaken to determine the incidence of seizures, their relationship with other withdrawal symptoms, the presence of brain atrophy and the relationship of this last with withdrawal intensity severity. Sixty-seven (93%) were male and the mean age was 44.9 +/- 1.3 (mean +/- SEM)
