Involvement of the endogenous opioid system in the psychopharmacological actions of ethanol: the role of acetaldehyde

Significant evidence implicates the endogenous opioid system (opioid peptides and receptors) in the mechanisms underlying the psychopharmacological effects of ethanol. Ethanol modulates opioidergic signaling and function at different levels, including biosynthesis, release, and degradation of opioid...
