Effect of Moderate Alcohol Consumption on Fibrinogen Levels in Healthy Volunteers Is Discordant with Effects on C‐Reactive Protein

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In a diet-controlled, crossover trial with 10 middle-aged men and 9 postmenopausal women, baseline concentrations of fibrinogen influenced the magnitude of decrease of fibrinogen after moderate alcohol consumption. The mechanism of reduction is specific for fibrinogen and unrelated to a reduction in C-reactive protein.
