The team of researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles found that dihydromyricetin can block the action of alcohol on the brain and neurons, and reduced alcohol consumption voluntarily, without any side effects. The study has been tested in a preliminary study using rats.
Dihydromyricetin inhibit the effects of alcohol on GABA receptors in the brain, and the specific sites targeted by chemicals from the brain cells. Alcohol usually increases the influence of GABA receptors in the brain that slows the activity of the cells, reducing the ability to communicate, and increased sleepiness.
