rapamycin, mTORC1 and substance abuse prev...

normalizing's Photo normalizing 13 Sep 2017

hi i found very interesting article regarding rapamycin and being possible that by blocking mTORC1 it can help with alcoholism and other substance abuse and addiction issues. here is the article i found; http://www.medicalne...cles/319373.php

 

whats your opinion on this. specifically, i read in the article that alcohol and drugs actually stimulate mTORC1 and hence redosing and addiction and rapamycin is helpful versus, BUT, on wikipedia i read alcohol is actually INHIBITOR of mTORC1 just like resveratrol, curcumin and rapamycin. someone care to give their educated opinion on this???
