May 8, 2018 – Biologists from the University of Texas tested the world’s first drug for alcoholism – JVW-1034. As scholars have noted, alcoholism is not developing due to the fact that a person has a weak will, as a result of mutations in genes that are responsible for the processing of ethanol. In addition, these genes are responsible for the parts of the brain associated with pleasure, self-control and impulsive behavior. The scientists obtained a substance which has been tested on earthworms and rats, affects the chain of neurons, preventing further mutation.
Also, the drug eliminates the symptoms of a hangover. Alcoholism-prone rats, which have been a proven remedy, completely abandoned the use of a ten percent solution of alcohol, preferring it to clean water. That is, a small dose of medication delivered rodents for alcohol dependence and reduced the share of consumption of alcohol by 30% immediately after the start of the reception.
