Abstract
Ethanol reduces the amount of intracellular zinc
detectable with TSQ.
Ethanol impairs astrocyte Zn management. It results in
a lower capacity for exogenous Zn intake and
delivering to zincosomes.
Thus, Zn supplementation (dietary?) may not be
enough for recovery of cellular normal function; as it
happens in alcohol treated astrocytes.
Zincosomes are a kind of low density primary
endosomes.
