P-76D-PENICILLAMINE, AN ACETALDEHYDE SEQUESTERING AGENT, REDUCES ETHANOL PREFERENCE IN ALCOHOL-NAÏVE RATS

In previous investigations, we demonstrated that D-penicillamine (DP), a sulfhydryl aminoacid which has been studied as sequestration agent of acetaldehyde (ACD), is able to prevent the alcohol deprivation effect (ADE) but not voluntary ethanol consumption. Both results were obtained in long-term ethanol-experienced Wistar rats. Based on a previous …
