| Description | This chapter describes effects of alcohol abuse on cellular antioxidant status and on the essential fatty acids and nutrients that antioxidants help to preserve. Alcohol is a macronutrient for many people, ranging up to 30% of dietary calories, and it is usually metabolized to $CO_{2}$ within 6 to 12 hours of 300ingestion. Alcohol is a ready source of electrons to reduce oxidants, but paradoxically, chronic alcohol use is frequently reported to cause a loss of antioxidants linked to pathophysiology with oxidant stress. As a result, much research has examined metabolic interactions of alcohol with dietary nutrients to identify the disturbances among intra- and inter-cellular signals, which impair the ability of cells and tissues to regulate their antioxidant status and resist the effects of oxidants. Such disturbances can impair tissues either through necrotic, inflammatory processes with extensive extracellular oxidative stress or through apoptotic processes with only subtle intracellular oxidative signals.
