Genetic differences in response to Naltrexone treatment

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have found an interesting article about genetic differences

between the mu-opioid receptors (these are the ones Naltrexone

targets). In short, the article states that the ones who are

genetically more likely to be alcohol dependent, respond better to

Naltrexone treatment.
