Pathophysiological Consequences of Alcohol

Pathophysiological Consequences of Alcohol presents how alcohol impacts physiological processes in organ systems. Relevant organ system physiology will first be presented as an overview, followed by up to date, evidenced-based findings related to how alcohol use either acutely or chronically impacts these processes. Each chapter, with the exception of the Introduction and Cellular and Molecular Physiology, begins with an overview of the physiology of the system, followed by the salient findings on alcohol's impact on that system, and ends with with an integrative case or clinical vignette. Written for those working and studying physiology, biology or neuroscience, by a team of experts involved in the study of how alcohol use contributes to risk for comorbidities, based in a leading Physiology Department, and heavily engaged in teaching of the discipline.
