Meanings of abstinent alcoholics in anglès

We tested abstinent alcoholics and control subjects in a double-blind two-session design.

By contrast, none of the abstinent alcoholics showed hyperleptinemia.

Background: Elevated sensation seeking is associated with the development of alcohol dependence; however, it has not been studied in long-term abstinent alcoholics.

Methods: Serum leptin levels were measured in 60 active asymptomatic alcoholics, 20 active alcoholics with cirrhosis of the liver, 20 abstinent alcoholics, and 60 controls.
