melatonin and Alcoholism

melatonin has been researched along with Alcoholism in 24 studies

Alcoholism: A primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. It is characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial. Each of these symptoms may be continuous or periodic. (Morse & Flavin for the Joint Commission of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and the American Society of Addiction Medicine to Study the Definition and Criteria for the Diagnosis of Alcoholism: in JAMA 1992;268:1012-4)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The present study was performed in order to establish whether alcoholism modifies the effects of melatonin (MEL) on the neuroendocrine control of growth hormone (GH) secretion."7.70Alcoholism abolishes the effects of melatonin on growth hormone secretion in humans. ( Coiro, V; Vescovi, PP, 1998)
"The melatonin data were correlated with the suppressive effects of dexamethasone (DXT) on cortisol secretion evaluated both during alcohol intake and during abstinence."5.28Urine melatonin in alcoholic patients: a marker of alcohol abuse? ( Bo, P; Costelli, P; Filippi, U; Fonzi, S; Murialdo, G; Polleri, A; Savoldi, F, 1991)
"In this secondary analysis of a pilot clinical trial with individuals with alcohol and nicotine use disorders, we investigate the relationship between serum concentrations of oxytocin, β-endorphin, melatonin, α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, substance P, and orexin, with objective biomarkers (salivary cotinine and serum γ-glutamyl transferase [GGT]) as well as with self-reported smoking and alcohol drinking."4.02Brief Report: Relationship Between Cotinine Levels and Peripheral Endogenous Concentrations of Oxytocin, β-Endorphin, and Orexin in Individuals With Both Alcohol and Nicotine Use Disorders. ( Brown, ZE; Haass-Koffler, CL; Kurtis, J; Lee, MR; Leggio, L; Perciballi, R; Swift, RM; Zywiak, WH, 2021)
" The present study was performed in order to establish whether alcoholism modifies the effects of melatonin (MEL) on the neuroendocrine control of growth hormone (GH) secretion."3.70Alcoholism abolishes the effects of melatonin on growth hormone secretion in humans. ( Coiro, V; Vescovi, PP, 1998)
" The dosage of melaxen ranged from 3 to 6 mg depending on the respond to the minimal dose."2.78[An open-label non-comparative study of the efficacy and safety of melaxen in treatment of sleep disorders in alcohol dependent patients during the period of abstinence]. ( Andreeva, NE; Andrianov, FV; Anipchenko, AV; Eryshev, OF, 2013)
"Melatonin is a hormone mainly secreted by the pineal gland during the dark phase of the light-dark cycle."2.41[Melatonin. I. Physiology of its secretion]. ( Bruls, E; Crasson, M; Legros, JJ, 2000)
"The melatonin data were correlated with the suppressive effects of dexamethasone (DXT) on cortisol secretion evaluated both during alcohol intake and during abstinence."1.28Urine melatonin in alcoholic patients: a marker of alcohol abuse? ( Bo, P; Costelli, P; Filippi, U; Fonzi, S; Murialdo, G; Polleri, A; Savoldi, F, 1991)
"Melatonin treatment also resulted in reducing daily total fluid intake as well as ethanol consumption in light-deprived hamsters."1.26Pineal gland and melatonin influence on chronic alcohol consumption by hamsters. ( Rudeen, PK; Symmes, SK, 1981)
