Abstract

Adolescent drug usage can lead to a variety of outcomes that are different from those associated with adult drug use. Alcohol is a common illicit substance in youth, and the molecular mechanisms behind alcohol-induced neuro inflammation, brain injury, and behavioural dysfunction caused by ethanol are not fully understood. In the adult brain, alcoholism is associated with a higher chance of neuropsychiatric diseases. Adolescent alcohol use can cause long-lasting modifications to the control of cytokines and the sensitivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which can impact neuropathology and behaviour long into adulthood... Synthetic androgens used for muscle and strength gain, especially in adolescence, are called alcoholic androgenic steroids (AAS). Adult neuropathology and alcoholism can be prevented and treated using AAS, an anabolic steroid.
