Pathophysiological Consequences of Alcohol examines the impact of alcohol on physiological processes within various organ systems. The book starts with an introduction to relevant organ system physiology, then presents current, evidence-based findings on how alcohol use, whether acute or chronic, affects these processes. Each chapter, aside from the Introduction and Cellular and Molecular Physiology, begins with a system overview, explores alcohol's effects, and concludes with integrated cases or clinical vignettes. This volume is intended for those studying or working in physiology, biology, or neuroscience and is written by experts from a renowned Physiology Department.

It includes comprehensive teaching material and offers insights into alcohol-related comorbidities. The book's authors are engaged in both research and education in the field.

Dr. Molina completed her MD training in Guatemala, Central America. Thereafter, she pursued a PhD in Physiology at LSUHSC. Since becoming a faculty member at LSUHSC, Dr. Molina obtained tenure and has been named Richard Ashman, PhD Professor in Physiology. In September 2008, she was appointed Department Head for Physiology. Dr. Molina’s research has been funded continuously since completing her PhD degree. She has mentored several undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral trainees. Dr. Molina’s a member of the faculty of the School of Graduate Studies, the Graduate Education Committee in Physiology, The Graduate Advisory Council, and is a mentor for the LSUHSC Interdisciplinary Graduate Program. Dr. Molina is an active member of several committees within the LSUHSC and is also actively involved in the Scientific Community outside the institution. Currently, she is the Chair for the National Hispanic Science Network on Drug Abuse and Past President of the American Physiological Society. Dr. Edwards completed his PhD training in the Departments of Neuroscience and Psychiatry at the UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas with the support of an F31 predoctoral National Research Service Award (NRSA) from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Afterwards, Scott joined the Committee on the Neurobiology of Addictive Disorders at The Scripps Research Institute where he was awarded an F32 postdoctoral NRSA fellowship and a K99/R00 Pathway to Independence award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Dr. Edwards joined the Department of Physiology in 2013 and was promoted to Associate Professor with Tenure in 2019. After her veterinary training, Dr. Simon completed her PhD training in Endocrine Physiology with a National Fellowship from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, India. Dr. Simon completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in endocrine and stem cell biology. She was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Tuskegee University, Alabama (2010-2013). She also held an adjunct faculty position, Department of Pathology, School of Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Dr. Simon joined the Department of Physiology in LSUHSC in 2013 and is currently an Associate Professor.
