Studies in rats have demonstrated that alcohol suppresses certain important human genes.
Experts have learned that regular consumption of, for example, strong wines makes the body refuse to perceive anything else. Through addiction, a person becomes an alcoholic. This conclusion was made by Swiss scientists who were studying the microbiological subtleties of alcohol dependence.
To determine the causes of addiction to alcohol, experts conducted an experiment on rats. The results of the experiment showed that after a while, such drinks deactivate certain receptors. This is the reason why people who are addicted to alcohol are more and more willing to use them.
The study showed that in experimental rodents with a similar dependence, the GAT-3 gene, which is responsible for coding for protein compounds, is almost completely deactivated . According to experts, it is very important because it is responsible for the accumulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid, which acts as a sedative for the central nervous system (central nervous system).
They also note that alcoholic beverages affect the physiological characteristics, so it is impossible to cope with alcoholism without the help of specialists.
