Increase in synaptosomal acidic phospholipids after intermittent but not continuous ethanol exposure.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different ethanol administration procedures on synaptosomal concentrations of acidic phospholipids. The concentrations of phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine were significantly increased after intermittent ethanol exposure for one week but were unaltered after one or three weeks of continuous ethanol administration. The results indicate the importance of drinking pattern for changes in synaptosomal acidic phospholipids.
