I would forsee that the first most valuable utilization of this would be in tne medical care of the alcholic who presented for emergency medical treatment. Persons who require emergency surgery, for medical or trauma may encounter life threatening complications if they are undiagnosed alcoholics. In the case of the diagnosed alcholic, precautions can be taken to try to limit the impact of DTs. However, often there is a lack of knowledge of the extent of a person's alcholal involvment. patients may have denied, or famlies may have denied. To have a tool to quickly interveen in the onset of alcholol related symptoms for such a patient could be a life saver

Some years back my lab published research suggesting that alcohol dehydrates membranes by displacing hydrogen-bonded water in lipid membrane domains in or near particular receptor proteins (Klemm, 1990). The mechanism for dihydromyricetin might be to reduce this membrane dehydration, either by competitive binding to hydrogen-bonding sites on membrane lipid or by sequestering alcohol molecules and reducing the population of alco...
