The role of essential fatty acids in alcohol dependence and tissue damage

I Glen et al. Alcohol Clin Exp Res. 1987 Feb.

Abstract

Evidence for the role of essential fatty acids in alcohol dependence is reviewed. If alcohol-induced tissue damage is associated with impaired fatty acid and phospholipid metabolism, supplements of essential fatty acids might be beneficial in the treatment of alcoholics. The evidence for this effect is examined.
