[Monoamines and peptidergic Gomori-positive neurosecretory cells of the paraventricular nucleus of the rat hypothalamus in chronic alcohol consumption]. 1986

For 6 months the rats were kept on 20 degrees ethanol. Then, the rats could choose whether to drink alcohol (A) or water. The rats formed 2 groups: those preferring A and those preferring water. The control rats were kept on water. The function of hypothalamus monoamine- and peptidergic systems were disturbed following chronic A treatment. Alcohol-preferring, unlike water-preferring rats, have revealed higher hypothalamus levels of serotonin and lower levels of dopamine and noradrenaline, which correlated with changes in fluorescence intensity of hypothalamus noradrenaline structures and were accompanied by remarkable disturbances in nonapeptide neurohormone transport in the paraventricular nucleus region.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

D000437 Alcoholism A primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. It is characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial. Each of these symptoms may be continuous or periodic.
