Sexually dimorphic role of circadian clock genes in alcohol drinking behavior

Author(s): Nuria de Zavalia

Sex differences in alcohol use and abuse are pervasive and carry important implications for the prevention and treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD), yet insight into underlying sexually dimorphic mechanisms is limited. Growing experimental and clinical e...

Description:

Sex differences in alcohol use and abuse are pervasive and carry important implications for the prevention and treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD), yet insight into underlying sexually dimorphic mechanisms is limited. Growing experimental and clinical evidence points to an important influence of circadian rhythms and circadian clock genes in the control of alcohol drinking behavior and AUD. Sex differences in the expression of circadian rhythms and in the molecular circadian clock that drive...
