Ethanol
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Ethanol'A clear, colorless liquid rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. It has bactericidal activity and is used often as a topical disinfectant. It is widely used as a solvent and preservative in pharmaceutical preparations as well as serving as the primary ingredient in ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. Common names: Ethanol; Grain Alcohol; Alcohol, Grain; Alcohol, Ethyl; Ethyl Alcohol; Absolute Alcohol; Alcohol, Absolute |

p38SJ, a novel DINGG protein protects neuronal cells from alcohol induced injury and death.
29 Nov 2009 
Ethanol induces neuronal cell injury and death by dysregulating several signaling events that are controlled, in part, by activation of MAPK/ERK1/2 and/or inactivation of its corresponding phosphatase, PP1. Recently, we have purified a novel protein ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 In the present study, in vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to determine the relationship between innate substance P (SP) levels and alcohol-motivated behavior in alcohol-preferring (P) and nonpreferring (NP) rat lines. In Experiment 1, in ... Read more...
13 Oct 2009 Phanerochaete chrysosporium is a wood-rot fungus that is capable of degrading lignin via its lignolytic system. In this study, an environmentally friendly fungal pretreatment process that produces less inhibitory substances than conventional methods ... Read more...
