Previously it was demonstrated that marinobufagenin (MBG) is implicated in the development of ethanol withdrawal in rats. It has been shown, that ethanol withdrawal is associated with a pressor response in the alcoholics. We hypothesized that elevated levels of sodium pump ligand, MBG, would underline the increase in systolic blood pressure during alcohol withdrawal in humans. The cohort included 9 patients with the diagnosis "alcohol dependence syndrome" (F10.(1-3) according to ICD-1. The blood samples for measurement of MBG con
