Abstract

Nutritional deficiency and ethanol toxicity may act synergistically in the nervous system. This review addresses clinical evidence documenting the crucial importance of nutritional control in the treatment of alcoholism. Methodological flaws that may result in experimental studies from failure to control for nutritional variables are also discussed.

Pharmacology & Toxicology includes all aspects of pharmacology, toxicology, and pharmaceutics. Of particular importance are cellular and molecular pharmacology, drug design and metabolism, mechanisms of drug action, drug delivery, natural products, xenobiotics, and clinical therapeutics. Toxicology coverage considers cellular and molecular effects of harmful substances, environmental toxicology, occupational exposure, and clinical toxicology. Drug bulletins, drug updates, and pharmaceutical newsletters are excluded as are resources on pharmaceutical engineering. Medicinal chemistry, or synthesis and chemical analysis of pharmaceuticals are placed in the Chemistry & Analysis category.
