Abstract
It has previously been reported that serotonin-stimulated second messenger formation is inhibited in platelets from alcoholics undergoing detoxification. Serotonin-stimulated signal transduction was therefore analysed in platelets from young post-withdrawal alcoholics to elucidate whether the previously reported inhibition is a state or trait marker of alcoholism. No difference between post-withdrawal alcoholics and controls was found with regard to serotonin-stimulated [32P]-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis or [32P]-phosphatidic acid formation. The results indicate that the inhibited serotonin2 receptor function seen in alcoholics undergoing detoxification is a state-dependent rather than a trait-dependent marker.
