Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research @acerjournal.bsky.social · 21h

September's ACER highlights: new insights into tailoring treatment by impulsivity profiles, the severe under-treatment of AUD in pregnancy, how cutting back on alcohol reduces mental health hospital visits, and how withdrawal reshapes the gut microbiome doi.org/10.1111/acer...

In patients with alcohol-associated liver disease & AUD, varenicline use was linked to improved survival and lower risk of hepatic encephalopathy vs. standard AUD meds doi.org/10.1111/acer...

Effect of varenicline on major adverse liver outcomes in alcohol‐associated liver disease: An exploratory analysis

This real-world study assessed whether varenicline improves outcomes in patients with ALD and AUD. Using data from a large electronic health record network, 1278 matched patients were analyzed.…

Molecular networks in the liver of rhesus macaques prior to alcohol exposure predicted later light vs. heavy drinking, suggesting genetic and epigenetic regulation of drinking phenotypes doi.org/10.1111/acer...

Liver molecular networks associated with drinking behavior in nonhuman primates

We identified hepatic molecular networks that differed between light drinkers (LD) and very heavy drinkers (VHD) before they were exposed to alcohol, as well as epigenetic differences between LD and…

Targeting G9a decreases escalated alcohol drinking in male mice in a model of combined stress and chronic alcohol exposure

Targeting dependence- and/or stress-escalated alcohol drinking could help patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD). We found that reducing the activity of the epigenetic regulatory enzyme G9a (aka…
