Sex differences in alcohol's effects on the human organism through transcriptomic approaches

Alcohol is the addictive substance with the most widespread consumption[1]. Because of this, alcoholism is a social problem in many communities and across all ages; with especially dangerous effects in the brain functions of addicts[2]. Thanks to the rise of omic sciences, now it is possible to approach the study of this relationship between alcohol and brain from an omic perspective.
