Abstract: | Spontaneous and induced apoptosis of neutrophils and lymphocytes was studied in alcoholics during the abstinent syndrome and in healthy individuals. In alcoholics, the levels of lymphocyte and neutrophil apoptosis at the receptor and cellular levels were higher than in healthy subjects. Blood cells from alcohol addicts and normal individuals similarly react to stimuli (hyperthermia and synthetic glucocorticoid prednisolone) in vitro. |
