Acetate as an active metabolite of ethanol: studies of locomotion, loss of righting reflex and anxiety in rodents.

Acetate as an active metabolite of ethanol: studies of locomotion, loss of righting reflex and anxiety in rodents.

It has been postulated that a number of the central effects of ethanol are mediated via ethanol metabolites: acetaldehyde and acetate. Ethanol is known to produce a large variety of behavioral actions such anxiolysis, narcosis and modulation of locomotion. Acetaldehyde contributes to some of those e...
