The ability of ethanol to nonselectively disturb synaptic activation of various neurotransmitters indicates that ethanol produces at least some of its effects by destabilizing cell membranes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethanol has been shown to interact with cell membrane lipids, altering their properties and potentially disrupting the normal functioning of neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels. This can lead to nonselective effects on neurotransmitter release, uptake, and signaling, contributing to the complex pharmacological profile of ethanol.
