“Further evidence for the involvement of calcium in the actions of alcohols was obtained in experiments where acute administration of ethanol reduced the toxicity produced by IVT injection of EGTA, a specific calcium chelator.”
“ Alcohols enhanced CICR from the SR significantly, but the cut-off in potency was observed in higher numbers of carbon atoms as observed with volatile anesthetics.”

“The results showed that all of four alcohols inhibited calcium current of cardiac membranes, but the action on potassium current changed from enhancement (ethanol) to impairment (hexanol and octanol) with the increase in carbon number of alcohols.”

“These studies show the generality of cation enhancement of alcohol-induced sleeping time in mice and rats, and confirm earlier reports which suggested that calcium is involved with the central nervous system depressant effects of alcohols.”

“The inhibitory potency of the alcohols increases with the length of their carbon chain, and may be due to an interference with the movement of calcium across the smooth muscle cell membrane.”

“It was concluded that the inhibition of glyphosate efficacy by calcium ion was not relieved by terpenic alcohols and acidified lecithins but was completely reverted by AS.”
