Alcohol, a dangerous molecule
The ancient Greeks were very fond of social celebrations, and called them “symposia,” which literally means “to drink together”. The reporter Pere Renom organizes a scientific symposium with a group of friends, to drink together and analyze how alcohol affects them. We will understand what causes alcohol toxicity, why it causes addiction, what determines its tolerance and what is the healthy limit for its consumption.
The biochemist of the UB Enric I. Canela, the doctor Antoni Gual of the Clinical Hospital and Rafael Madonado, professor of pharmacology at UPF, are involved.
