Overview

Ethanol is a simple alcohol compound (C?H?OH) produced through fermentation of sugars by microorganisms and widely used in industrial, biotechnological, and medical applications. Research published in this journal examines ethanol across multiple domains, including its physiological effects on metabolic responses to environmental stressors such as cold exposure and its role in alcohol use disorder, where investigations have explored biomarkers like plasma TREM2 levels and their relationship to liver enzyme activity in sex-dependent patterns involving genetic polymorphisms. The journal has also documented ethanol's significance in biotechnology, particularly in yeast-mediated bioprocesses where different yeast species produce ethanol and other valuable bio-products for industrial application, and in algae-based systems that generate ethanol as part of broader biofuel and biochemical production strategies. Additionally, ethanol appears in published research as a solvent for extracting bioactive compounds from medicinal plants, where it serves as a standard extraction medium for evaluating antimicrobial, antioxidant, and therapeutic properties of natural products. This body of work reflects ethanol's dual nature as both a research subject in understanding human health impacts and a practical tool in biotechnological and phytochemical investigations.
