TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Nitric oxide is not increased in alcoholic brain JO - Alcohol and alcoholism A1 - Neiman, J. A1 - Benthin, G. SP - 551 EP - 553 VL - 32 IS - 5 N2 - Nitric oxide (NO) metabolites nitrite and nitrate were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid in 12 alcohol-dependent subjects and in 16 healthy controls. The amounts of NO metabolites in alcoholics were not different from those in the controls. The results suggest that NO is not a major factor responsible for brain damage in these patients.
