Abstract: Emerging evidence from both experimental animal studies and clinical human investigations demonstrates strong connections among circadian processes, alcohol use, and alcohol-induced tissue injury. Components of the circadian clock have been shown to influence the pathophysiological effects of alcohol. Conversely, alcohol may alter the expression of circadian clock genes and the rhythmic behavioral and metabolic processes they regulate. Therefore, we propose that alcohol-mediated disruption in circadian rhythms likely underpins many adverse health effects of alcohol that cut across multiple organ systems. In this review, we provide an overview of the circadian clock mechanism and showcase results from new studies in the alcohol field implicating the circadian clock as a key target of alcohol action and toxicity in the liver. We discuss various molecular events through which alcohol may work to negatively impact circadian clock-mediated processes in the liver, and contribute to tissue pathology. Illuminating the mechanistic connections between the circadian clock and alcohol will be critical to the development of new preventative and pharmacological treatments for alcohol use disorders and alcohol-mediated organ diseases.

Effect of ethanol on lipid metabolism
Min You,Gavin E. Arteel +1 more
TL;DR: Better and more specific understanding of the mechanisms by which alcohol causes steatosis may therefore translate into targeted therapies to treat alcohol-related liver disease and/or prevent its progression.

TL;DR: Differences in alcohol metabolism may put some people at greater risk for alcohol problems, whereas others may be at least somewhat protected from alcohol’s harmful effects.

TL;DR: Although abundant biochemical mechanisms are proposed for the initiation and perpetuation of liver injury, patients with an alcohol problem benefit from permanent alcohol abstinence alone.

The hepatic BMAL1/AKT/lipogenesis axis protects against alcoholic liver disease in mice via promoting PPARα pathway.
Deqiang Zhang,Xin Tong,Bradley Nelson,Ethan Jin,Julian Sit,Nicholas Charney,Meichan Yang,M. Bishr Omary,Lei Yin +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the circadian clock protein BMAL1 in hepatocytes is both necessary and sufficient to protect mice from ALD and the protective action of BMAL 1 during alcohol consumption depends on its ability to couple ChREBP‐induced de novo lipogenesis with PPARα‐mediated fatty oxidation.

Alcoholic Liver Disease: Current Mechanistic Aspects with Focus on Their Clinical Relevance
TL;DR: Efforts within the last years were devoted to shed more light in the pathogenesis of ALD, much has been achieved but issues remain to what extent results obtained from experimental studies can be transferred to humans.

TL;DR: Currently available cell culture systems for HCV are highlighted, the most prominent host-targeting strategies against hepatitis C are reviewed, and opportunities and risks associated with host- targeting antiviral strategies are critically discussed.
Prevalence, Correlates, Disability, and Comorbidity of DSM-IV Alcohol Abuse and Dependence in the United States: Results From the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions
TL;DR: Comorbidity of alcohol dependence with other substance disorders appears due in part to unique factors underlying etiology for each pair of disorders studied while comorbidities of alcohol addiction with mood, anxiety, and personality disorders appears more attributable to factors shared among these other disorders.

TL;DR: Examination of US data on risk factor exposures and disease-specific mortality finds that smoking and hypertension, which both have effective interventions, are responsible for the largest number of deaths.

TL;DR: Estimation of transcripts encoding selected hypothalamic peptides associated with energy balance was attenuated in the Clock mutant mice, suggesting that the circadian clock gene network plays an important role in mammalian energy balance.

TL;DR: Genetic and genomic analysis suggests that a relatively small number of output genes are directly regulated by core oscillator components, and major processes regulated by the SCN and liver were found to be under circadian regulation.
