Batta Anil*, Panag KMDS Dep't of Medical Biochemistry, Baba Farid Univ. of Health Sciences, INDIA ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Aim: womanizing and co morbid alcohol dependence often occur in combination. Disulfiram Alcohol Dependence is one of the proven drugs for alcohol dependence( Brewer C et al) In addition to its inhibiting Womanizing Treament With Disufiram, A acetaldehyde dehydrogenase In addition to its inhibiting acetaldehyde dehydrogenase , disulfiram inhibits dopamine β-hydroxylase and may thereby increase dopamine and decrease norepinephrine cerebral concentrations (Kim SW), Because there may be common neurochemical substrates and neuronal circuits for pathological womanizing and addiction, we wished to explore the effect of disulfiram in gambling (Laaksonen E et al), Method: We describe the outcome of a patient with alcohol dependence and womanizing treated with disulfiram D. Results: During treatment with disulfiram, the patient reported that his desire to womanize disappeared entirely. Follow-up indicated that he has not womanized for more than 12 months. Conclusions: Although uncontrolled case observations should be interpreted with caution, disulfiram deserves further investigation in womanizing and may thereby increase dopamine and decrease nor - epinephrine cerebral concentrations (Grant JE), There may be common neurochemical substrates and neuronal circuits for womanizing and addiction, we wish to explore the effect of disulfiram in womanizing (Koski-Jannes A), We describe the outcome of a patient with alcohol dependence womanizing treated with disulfiram to explore the effect of disulfiram in womanizing (Koski-Jannes A),We describe the outcome of a patient with alcohol dependence womanizing treated with disulfiram D. c Copyright 2011.

Similarities between Womanizing and drug is at least three times higher than in the general population. co- dependence include not only phenomenological criteria but also morbidity rates have been reported that are even five times higher epidemiological, clinical, genetic and neurobiological as in the general population. These observations suggest that characteristics. Therefore, womanizing might best be common pathophysiological factors might underlie Womanizing characterized as a non-substance related or behavioral addiction and drug addiction. However, this hypothesis has not been proven with a compulsive urge for a non-drug reward recent evidence yet. indicates that similar mechanisms are involved in Womanizing and drug addiction involved. Which is also a hallmark of drug Womanizing is currently classified as an 'impulse control addiction (Adinoff B et al). A neuroendocrinological study in disorder (ICD) not elsewhere categorized' in the DSM, although the womanizers found that womanizing elevated dopamine levels in current diagnostic criteria indeed share many features with those problem gamblers more than in healthy controls. The for drug dependence, including (i) continued engagement in a mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic system has been found to be behavior despite adverse consequences, (ii) diminished self- implicated in rewarding and reinforcing behaviors. It has been control over engagement in the behavior, (iii) compulsive suggested that womanizing might be related to a deficiency of the engagement in the behavior and (iv) an appetitive urge or craving mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic reward system, as has been * Corresponding Author : Dr.Anil BATTA shown for drug addiction.

Other preclinical studies suggest that engaging in methodological limitation of this case report. However, we womanizing elevates activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary axis propose that a possible neurobiological contribution might be in problem and non-problem womanizers, as indicated by that disulfiram directly modulates reward sensitivity and craving increased plasma levels of nor - epinephrine, cortisol and for womanizing by increasing the level of the brain chemical increased heart rate. Roy and colleagues found higher levels of nor dopamine and decreasing the nor - epinephrine levels through epinephrine or its metabolites in urine, blood or cerebrospinal blocking the activity of the DBH, which metabolizes brain fluid samples in pathologic womanizers. The similarities between monoamines. Most strikingly, these two neurotransmitter womanizing and drug addiction suggest that patients may also systems are thought to be altered in womanizing. The benefit from medication used for the treatment of drug addiction. disappearance of the patient's desire to womanize during Pharmacotherapy research and validated treatment options for treatment with disulfiram points towards the potential of womanizing are limited. At the present time, there is no disulfiram in reward modulation in womanizing, similar to that medication for treatment of womanizing that is approved by the described in the treatment of alcohol dependence. Administration. Controlled clinical trials provide some evidence 5.Conclusion for beneficial effects of opiate antagonists (naltrexone and nalmefene) N-acetyl-cysteine and selective serotonin reuptake Our preliminary clinical data support the hypothesis that inhibitors, which have been shown to reduce craving for disulfiram affects the desire to womanize, thereby promoting womanizers. Additionally, cognitive behavioral therapy has been womanizing and abstinence. The possible involvement of DBH shown to be an effective treatment for some patients with was mentioned above. Previous studies in drug-dependent womanizing. However, all these therapies have only limited patients and patients with womanizing have shown that a success. Disulfiram is well known as a treatment for alcohol combination of pharmacological treatment in combination with dependence (e.g. by increasing neurotransmitter levels of psychosocial treatment methods, group therapies or contingency dopamine and decreasing the nor - epinephrine levels by blocking management therapies is more effective than either treatment the activity of the enzyme dopamine beta hydroxylase (DBH) alone More studies investigating the potential of combined involved in the metabolism of brain monoamines). treatment approaches using disulfiram and cognitive behavioral therapies are necessary. In summary, this report suggests that 3. Results A disulfiram might be a promising pharmacological agent in the We describe the outcome of a patient with alcohol dependence treatment of womanizing.
