Excessive alcohol users have increased risk of developing respiratory infections in part due
to oxidative stress-induced alveolar macrophage (AM) phagocytic dysfunction. Chronic …

Alcohol use disorders (AUD) increase susceptibility to respiratory infections by 2-to 4-fold in
part because of impaired alveolar macrophage (AM) immune function. Alcohol causes AM …

An alcohol use disorder increases the risk of invasive and antimicrobial resistant community‐
acquired pneumonia and tuberculosis. Since the alveolar macrophage (AM) orchestrates …

The lungs can undergo irreversible damage from chronic alcohol consumption. Herein, we
developed an animal model predisposed for edematous lung injury following chronic …

Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor (PPAR) γ is critical for alveolar macrophage (AM)
function. Chronic alcohol abuse causes AM phagocytic dysfunction and susceptibility to …

Alcohol abuse suppresses the immune responses of alveolar macrophages (AMs) and
increases the risk of a respiratory infection via chronic oxidative stress and depletion of …

Excessive alcohol use increases the risk of developing respiratory infections partially due to
impaired alveolar macrophage (AM) phagocytic capacity. Previously, we showed that …

Chronic alcohol abuse is a comorbid variable of acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Previous studies showed that, in the lung, chronic alcohol consumption increased oxidative …

Alcohol misuse, directly or indirectly as a result of its metabolism, negatively impacts most
tissues, including four with critical roles in energy metabolism regulation: the liver, pancreas …

Excessive alcohol users have a higher risk for developing respiratory infections compared to
individuals who do not chronically misuse alcohol, due to impaired host immune defense. In …
