Sex Differences in NMDA Receptor Expression in Human Alcoholics
Alcohol and Alcoholism Advance Access published online on September 7, 2009

The aim of this study was to assess whether chronic alcohol misuse affects N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit concentrations in human cases, and whether male and female subjects respond differently.

NMDA receptor subunit expression may differentially influence male and female cirrhotic alcoholics’ susceptibility to brain damage.
