Forced ethanol drinking for several days and application of ethanol to cell cultures changes expression levels of various NMDA receptor subunits in rodents. We investigated the influence of long-term voluntary ethanol consumption of moderate ethanol doses on polypeptide levels of the NMDA receptor subunit 2B (NR2B) in various forebrain regions of rats and found a mild increase selectively in the frontal cortex. This result is in accordance with and extends findings from studies using high doses of ethanol for a short period and suggests that the NR2B might be a potential target for an effective treatment of alcoholic patients.
