Altered calcium signal transduction after chronic ethanol consumption. 1986

R A Rius, and S Govoni, and L Guagno, and A C Araujo, and M Trabucchi

Calcium and calcium-calmodulin dependent phosphorylation of several protein bands was found altered in synaptosomal membranes prepared from ethanol treated rats. The ethanol induced effect on Ca++ and Ca++-calmodulin phosphorylation presented regional differences. In particular 32P incorporation was lower in the striatum and cerebellum, higher in the hippocampus and unmodified in the cortex. Part of the phosphorylated bands had an apparent molecular weight similar to that of the phosphoproteins involved in neurotransmission. These results extend previous observations indicating that calcium movement control is modified during chronic ethanol consumption and suggest that ethanol may interfere at various steps in the calcium-promoted events.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.

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.
