What is it about?

The study presents a novel view of the impact of acute alcohol intake on bone marrow and spleen cell proliferation in a transgenic mouse model. Acute alcohol consumption in mice is associated with a reduction in physiological proliferation of bone marrow progenitor cells. These data are in agreement with a previously established cytotoxic effect on hematopoietic stem cells exerted by aldehydes produced by both ethanol and methanol metabolism. Pharmacological treatment with substances interfering with ethanol metabolism, reducing acetaldehyde production, partially restores the physiological cell proliferation rate.
