ABSTRACT
Alcoholism is a chronic disease that leads to behavioral problems
that last during withdrawal. The consumption of ethanol increases the
accumulation of Acetaldehyde and Reactive Oxygen Species causing
damage to the brain. Two important neurotransmitters involved in
neuronal damage are γ-Amino butyric acid (GABA) an inhibitory
neurotransmitter and glutamate, the most important excitatory
neurotransmitter. GABAergic receptor affections contribute to tolerance
and dependence on ethanol and symptoms of hyperexcitability in
the withdrawal while the affectations of the glutamatergic NMDA
receptor contribute to tolerance and dependence on ethanol as well
as to the establishment of withdrawal symptoms. The affectations
in the metabolism of Ethanol trigger behavioral alterations since
the dysfunction of the enzyme Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase causes
accumulation at the brain level of Acetaldehyde, largely responsible for
the brain damage caused during alcoholism. In this work, the existing
experimental literature in databases such as PubMed and Medline is
reviewed systematically and organized by subject, in logical order
and starting from basic concepts, about the main elements in the
relationship between oxidative stress and neuronal imbalance which
form the basis of behavioral problems in the development of addiction
and during withdrawal. Our objective is to contribute to clarify the
existing knowledge about the relationships between certain biological
factors (such as neurotransmitters and indicators of redox imbalance)
and the effects of alcohol, highlighting the importance of some risk
factors for the development of alcoholism.
