flunitrazepam and Alcoholic Cirrhosis

flunitrazepam has been researched along with Alcoholic Cirrhosis in 4 studies

Flunitrazepam: A benzodiazepine with pharmacologic actions similar to those of DIAZEPAM that can cause ANTEROGRADE AMNESIA. Some reports indicate that it is used as a date rape drug and suggest that it may precipitate violent behavior. The United States Government has banned the importation of this drug.
flunitrazepam : A 1,4-benzodiazepinone that is nitrazepam substituted by a methyl group at position 1 and by a fluoro group at position 2'. It is a potent hypnotic, sedative, and amnestic drug used to treat chronic insomnia.

"[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.
