diazepam and Alcoholic Cirrhosis

diazepam has been researched along with Alcoholic Cirrhosis in 8 studies

Diazepam: A benzodiazepine with anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, sedative, muscle relaxant, and amnesic properties and a long duration of action. Its actions are mediated by enhancement of GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID activity.
diazepam : A 1,4-benzodiazepinone that is 1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one substituted by a chloro group at position 7, a methyl group at position 1 and a phenyl group at position 5.

"In the treatment of withdrawal symptoms diazepam was used."1.32[Chronic ethanol abuse related hospitalisation in the Internal Medicine Department of the Specialist Hospital in Biała Podlaska (Poland)]. ( Chwaluk, P, 2004)
"[3H]Diazepam affinity was invariant across all males and the female control, but lower in the female cirrhotic alcoholics."1.29Benzodiazepine binding sites in alcoholic cirrhotics: evidence for gender differences. ( Dodd, PR, 1995)
"Whereas cases with concomitant Wernicke encephalopathy may also have had greater numbers of superior frontal [3H]muscimol binding sites than controls, alcoholics with cirrhosis of the liver showed more muted differences."1.29GABAA receptors in damaged cerebral cortex areas in human chronic alcoholics. ( Dodd, PR, 1994)
"This resulted in a comatose state with depression of some brainstem reflexes."1.27Spindle coma in benzodiazepine toxicity: case report. ( Mouradian, MD; Penovich, PE, 1985)
