Alcohol triggers the accumulation of oxidatively-damaged proteins in neuronal cells and tissues (2024)
Journal Article
Mudyanselage, A. W., Wijamunige, B. C., Kocoń, A., Turner, R., Mclean, D., Morentin, B., …Carter, W. G. (2024). Alcohol triggers the accumulation of oxidatively-damaged proteins in neuronal cells and tissues. Antioxidants, 13(5), Article 580. https://doi.org/10.3390/antiox13050580

Alcohol is toxic to neurons and can trigger alcohol-related brain damage, neuronal loss, and cognitive decline. Neuronal cells may be vulnerable to alcohol toxicity and damage from oxidative stress after differentiation. To consider this further, the...
