Alcohol, stress, and glucocorticoids: From risk to dependence and relapse in alcohol use disorders

Abstract: In this review, we detail the clinical evidence supporting the role of psychological and physiological stress in instrumental motivation for alcohol consumption during the development of mild to moderate alcohol use disorders (AUDs) and in the compulsive, habitual alcohol consumption seen in severe, chronic, relapsing AUDs. Traditionally, the study of AUDs has focused on the direct and indirect effects of alcohol on striatal dopaminergic pathways and their role in the reinforcing effects of alcohol. However, g… Show more

“…Regardless, the discovery that acute combined exposure to EtOH and stress further enhance plasma endotoxin, and increased microglial responses in key brain regions could contribute to the stress and alcohol interaction increasing risks of AUD. Stress has been implicated in exacerbating binge/heavy drinking, motivation to drink, and the chronic relapsing nature of AUD (Blaine and Sinha, 2017; Stephens and Wand, 2012). We report here that stress and EtOH exposure interact through changes in blood endotoxin and microglial activation.…”

“…Both alcohol and stress increase stress hormone levels and activity of brain stress systems (Koob et al., 2004). Stress and the release of stress hormones by the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis have been implicated in binge/heavy drinking, motivation to drink, and the chronic relapsing nature of AUD (Blaine and Sinha, 2017; Stephens and Wand, 2012). Release of stress hormones is also linked to increased alcohol drinking, responses to alcohol cues, risk of relapse, and positive subjective responses to alcohol (Blaine and Sinha, 2017; Stephens and Wand, 2012).…”

“…There are several recent reviews from 2016-2018 providing the details of other important stress responsive systems (like Corticotrophin Releasing Factor, Neuropeptide Y, and glucocorticoid receptor, etc.) from preclinical evidence to the recent clinical trials [Koob and Mason, 2016;Mantsch et al, 2016;Blaine and Sinha, 2017;Mason, 2017;Robinson and Thiele, 2017;Spierling and Zorrilla, 2017;Tunstall et al, 2017;Pomrenze et al, 2017]. The main focus in this mini-review is several other important stress responsive systems, which recently has not been reviewed, like arginine vasopressin/V1b receptors (Part I), and proopiomelanocortin/β-endorphin (Part II).…”

“…Напротив, относительное количество зрелых Т-лимфоцитов в 1 точке обследова-ния было повышено по отношению к кон-тролю, что может быть обусловлено вклю-чением компенсаторных механизмов при стрессе, поскольку длительное потребление алкоголя и его отмена является мощным стрессором [13,14]. Проведены предварительные экспери-менты по влиянию аскорбата лития на экс-прессию поверхностных рецепторов лим-фоцитов больных алкоголизмом.…”
