Abstract

Introduction: It is thought that naltrexone may play a significant role in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis response to stress. We investigated the HPA axis response following single-dose oral naltrexone administration in the early phase of alcohol withdrawal.
