A study presented at the ECNP Congress reveals that men and women with alcohol dependence may benefit from different treatments due to hormonal and biochemical factors. The study found that men and women with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) have different hormone and protein markers that can impact their response to treatment. Men with AUD had lower levels of certain hormones and proteins, while women with higher levels of certain markers were more likely to relapse during the first three months of treatment. These findings suggest the need for gender-specific treatments for alcohol dependence based on individual biochemistries. Further research is needed to understand the implications of these differences in treatment outcomes.
