Evidence for the role of essential fatty acids in alcohol dependence is reviewed. If alcohol-induced tissue damage is associated with impaired fatty acid and phospholipid metabolism, supplements of essential fatty acids might be beneficial in the treatment of alcoholics. The evidence for this effect is examined.
The relationships between essential fatty acids, mean cell volume and a measure of membrane fluidity from nuclear magnetic resonance scans, T1, are assessed and appear to contradict what would be expected. Our findings indicate poorly functioning membranes and high water content of tissues.
