Marked changes in dopamine and GABA receptors in the brain of rats with chronic alcohol intoxication were registered 48 h and 3 months after ethanol withdrawal. The changes in dopamine receptors characterized by the increased number of the sites of binding with ligand (Bmax) were most pronounced 48 h after ethanol withdrawal. In 3 months the properties of these receptors tended toward recovery. The changes in GABA receptors also manifested by the increase in Bmax become further pronounced 3 months after ethanol withdrawal.
