As long as there is alcohol, so many families are destroyed and the lives of those who abuse it are ruined. To reduce the number of victims of alcohol addiction, experts do not stop studying this issue and looking for new solutions.
As it turned out, American scientists made a big step towards getting rid of the problem. It is reported that experts have found an unusual way to deal with alcoholism. According to a study conducted at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine, a special vaccine may be a cure for addiction.
Scientists have managed to come up with a gene drug that affects the area of the brain responsible for the production of dopamine. It turned out that his injection is able to make up for the lack of a hormone of joy that alcoholics experience. Due to the deficiency, drinkers are forced to constantly increase the dose of alcohol, but after the vaccine, according to the researchers, the problem can be solved.
Experts conducted an experiment on monkeys, during which it turned out that the level of dopamine in the brain is restored for a long time after a single injection of the drug. After the vaccine, the primates, who had previously been addicted to alcohol, began to refuse it. Soon, they plan to start testing with the participation of people.
