1987 GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE ON ALCOHOL

酗酒和酗酒是美国和西方的主要问题。 文明和发展中国家日益关注。 但在 与癌症和心脏病等其他健康问题相比， 实验室研究的好处现在正直接应用于 床，这是尚未与酒精研究的情况下。 其最终 希望达到这一目标，并以审查 酒精研究中最有前途的发展，第三戈登 关于酒精的研究会议正在圣诞老人的米拉马尔酒店举行 1987年2月，加州的芭芭拉。 在那次会议上， 来自美国和国外的杰出研究人员将被邀请参加 参加一个试图理解和整合影响的项目， 酒精在四个层次的生物组织：1）膜和 亚细胞，2）细胞，3）组织和器官，和4）总生物体。 在这种情况下，生物化学和生理机制， 有助于遗传性的酒精问题和同等条件的脆弱性 酒精在发挥其毒性和实现其 成瘾倾向将在分子水平上进行探讨。 的 会议将提出，此外，细胞保持在体外和动物 遗传学研究作为描述这些问题的模型系统， 新的方法，潜在的应用于酗酒研究。

Alcohol abuse and alcoholism are major problems in the U.S. and the Western civilization and of growing concern in developing nations. Yet, in contrast to other health problems such as cancer and heart disease, where the benefits of laboratory research are now being directly applied to the bed, such is not yet the case with alcohol research. With the ultimate hope of satisfying that objective and with the immediate goal of reviewing the most promising developments in alcohol research, the 3rd Gordon Research Conference on Alcohol is being held at the Miramar Hotel in Santa Barbara, California in February 1987. At that meeting some of the most prominent researchers both from the U.S. and abroad will be invited to participate in a program attempting to understand and integrate the effects of alcohol at four levels of biological organization: 1) membrane and subcellular, 2) cellular, 3) tissue and organ, and 4) total organism. Within this context, biochemical and physiological mechanisms that contribute to heritable vulnerability to alcohol problems and pari passu the effects of alcohol in exerting its toxic properties and realizing its addictive liability will be explored at the molecular level. The Conference will present, in addition, cells maintained in vitro and animal genetic studies as model systems for delineating these issues and present new methodologies for potential application to alcoholism research.
