New research at Idaho State University is looking for gender-specific differences in how alcohol affects the brain. Experiments on rats appear to show physiological stress responses are much higher in females.
Dan Selvage, an assistant professor of biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences, is conducting a five-year study with a $1.1 million grant from the National Institute of Health.
Selvage said consistently high levels of stress hormones can mask the body’s natural feedback and create stress-related disorders. Eventually, Selvage said, the study could lead to gender-specific approaches to treatment for alcohol abuse.
“Females tend to suffer the ravages of alcoholism much more quickly than males. Part of that’s due to metabolism, but another part of that is thought to be that alcohol activates body stress responses a lot more in females.”
