“…Oxidative stress plays a critical underlying role in alcohol toxicity and behavioral impairments; antioxidant therapy should be an integral part of acute alcohol intoxication and AUD treatment [39] To review connections between carnitine metabolism and the pathophysiology of the AUD Alcohol use appears to impact carnitine metabolism, most clearly in the setting of alcoholic cirrhosis; an increase in plasma carnitine may be related to disordered fatty acid metabolism and oxidative stress in AUD; carnitine can be a supplementation in the treatment of AUD [66] To provide a rationale for using CBD to treat human subjects with AUD, based on the findings of experimental studies CBD reduces alcohol-related steatosis and fibrosis in the liver by reducing lipid accumulation, stimulating autophagy, modulating inflammation, reducing oxidative stress, and inducing death of activated hepatic stellate cells; CBD reduces the level of alcohol drinking in animal models of AUD by reducing ethanol intake, motivation for ethanol, relapse, anxiety, and impulsivity; it reduces alcohol-related steatosis and fibrosis in the liver and reduces alcohol-related brain damage [67] To review the mechanisms of alcohol on the pathological relationships of neurodegeneration that cause permanent neuronal damage in AUD Chronic alcohol abuse through oxidative reduction response and inflammatory activation leads to cytoskeletal destabilization of BBB integrity, which further activates astrocytes and, thus, finally causes BBB disruption and neuronal death [68] To review if anxiety disorders, depression, and AUD share oxidative stress in their etiologies Animal and human studies confirm a link between oxidative stress and anxiety, depression, and AUD. Oxidative stress might also be involved in the etiology of neuropsychiatric diseases by causing accelerated telomere shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation excitotoxicity, and influence neuronal signaling [23] To review how induction of neuroimmune genes by binge drinking increases neuronal excitability and oxidative stress, contributing to the neurobiology of AD Ethanol-induced immune gene, NOX, catalyzes the formation of ROS and superoxide and thereby increases oxidative stress; oxidative stress, by inducing innate immune genes, significantly contributes to alcoholic brain damage and alcoholic neurodegeneration [69] To review the interrelationship between H 2 S signaling and cigarette smoking or alcohol drinking…”
