This study tested two hypotheses. First, that breast pumping contributes to the previously
observed decrease in ethanol bioavailability in lactating women. Second, that the effects of …

Prior research revealed that breast stimulation altered the way the lactating body handles
alcohol. Its effects depended upon when it occurred relative to drinking. The goal of the …

Background: During lactation, the consumption of ethanol is discussed controversially. After
women drink alcoholic beverages, ethanol can be found in breastmilk with a time lag. To …

Experimental studies in rats have demonstrated that lactating females have blood ethanol
levels five times lower than those observed in non-lactating rats. The purpose of the present …

Aims To investigate the absorption, distribution and elimination of ethanol in women with
abnormal gut as a result of gastric bypass surgery. Patients who undergo gastric bypass for …

Background: Contrary to the popular lore that encourages women to drink alcohol as an aid
to lactation, we previously showed that alcohol consumption disrupted lactational …

Background: Given the physiological adaptations of the digestive system during lactation,
the present study tested the hypothesis that lactation alters alcohol pharmacokinetics …

Alcohol is an unusually small molecule compared with typical therapeutic drugs. Its
molecular weight (MW) is 46 Da. Compare that to other commonly used small drug …

Previous research demonstrated that breast‐feeding infants consumed significantly less milk
during the immediate hours after their mothers consumed an acute dose of alcohol when …

While the harmful effects of alcohol during pregnancy are well‐established, the
consequences of alcohol intake during lactation have been far less examined. We reviewed …
