Measurement of the water content of the cerebral white matter in 26 control and 24 alcoholic cases supports in vivo MRI studies and previous necropsy studies which appeared to show an increase in the water content in the alcoholic group. This negates the hypothesis that reversible brain shrinkage in alcoholics is caused by changes in the state of hydration.
对26名对照者和24名酗酒者的脑白质含水量进行测量,这一结果支持了活体磁共振成像研究以及之前的尸检研究,这些研究似乎表明酗酒者组的含水量有所增加。这否定了酗酒者可逆性脑萎缩是由水合状态变化引起的这一假设。
