supplement:

Alcohols

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Volatile anesthetics and alcohols enhance transmission mediated by γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) in the central nervous system, an effect that may underlie some of the behavioral actions of these agents.

We have recently demonstrated that ethanol and longer-chain alcohols n-alcohols ) enhance gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-induced chloride currents before desensitization takes place.

n-Alcohols , when added in increasing concentrations, had an unusual triphasic effect on the uptake of choline and of gamma-aminobutyric acid by isolated synaptosomes.
