Pathophysiological Consequences of Alcohol examines the impact of alcohol on physiological processes within various organ systems. The book starts with an introduction to relevant organ system physiology, then presents current, evidence-based findings on how alcohol use, whether acute or chronic, affects these processes. Each chapter, aside from the Introduction and Cellular and Molecular Physiology, begins with a system overview, explores alcohol's effects, and concludes with integrated cases or clinical vignettes. This volume is intended for those studying or working in physiology, biology, or neuroscience and is written by experts from a renowned Physiology Department.
It includes comprehensive teaching material and offers insights into alcohol-related comorbidities. The book's authors are engaged in both research and education in the field.
