2. Biological half-life - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_half-life

   The removal of ethanol (drinking alcohol) through oxidation by alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver from the human body is limited. Hence the removal of a large concentration of alcohol from blood may follow zero-order kinetics. Also the rate-limiting steps for one substance may be in common with other substances.

3. Short-term effects of alcohol consumption - Wikipedia

   Symptoms of varying BAC levels. Additional symptoms may occur. The short-term effects of alcohol consumption range from a decrease in anxiety and motor skills and euphoria at lower doses to intoxication (drunkenness), to stupor, unconsciousness, anterograde amnesia (memory "blackouts"), and central nervous system depression at higher doses.

4. Fludrocortisone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fludrocortisone

   Fludrocortisone is taken by mouth [5] and is most commonly used in its acetate form. [6] Common side effects of fludrocortisone include high blood pressure, swelling, heart failure, and low blood potassium. [5] Other serious side effects can include low immune-system function, cataracts, muscle weakness, and mood changes. [5]

   That is, the closer time points are, the closer the trapezoids reflect the actual shape of the concentration-time curve. The number of time points available in order to perform a successful NCA analysis should be enough to cover the absorption, distribution and elimination phase to accurately characterize the drug.

7. First pass effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_pass_effect

   First-pass metabolism may occur in the liver (for propranolol, lidocaine, clomethiazole, and nitroglycerin) or in the gut (for benzylpenicillin and insulin). [4] The four primary systems that affect the first pass effect of a drug are the enzymes of the gastrointestinal lumen, [5] gastrointestinal wall enzymes, [6] [7] [8] bacterial enzymes [5] and hepatic enzymes.

8. Alcohol and cortisol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_and_cortisol

   Alcohol and cortisol have a complex relationship. While cortisol is a stress hormone, alcoholism can lead to increased cortisol levels in the body over time. This can be problematic because cortisol can temporarily shut down other bodily functions, potentially causing physical damage.

9. Effect of psychoactive drugs on animals - Wikipedia

   A study conducted by the Aquaculture Institute looked into the effects of cannabis oil on the metabolism and immune system of the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). They found that cannabis has no measurable effect on the white blood cell count or plasma protein concentration, and therefore has no effect on the immune system of the Nile tilapia.
