Biomarker assessments.
| Biomarkers | Hangover Resistant Group | Hangover Sensitive Group | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control Day | Alcohol Day | Control Day | Alcohol Day | |
| 5-HTOL (ng/mL) | 17.8 (12.6) | 232.9 (343.0) γ | 21.3 (15.3) | 509.3 (567.8) γ |
| 5-HIAA (µg/mL) | 3.8 (2.8) | 3.1 (1.4) | 4.1 (2.8) | 4.6 (2.1) * |
| 5-HTOL/5-HIAA ratio (×1000) | 5.6 (2.8) | 78.8 (107.3) γ | 6.1 (2.8) | 126.6 (127.9) γ |
Mean and standard deviation (SD, between brackets) are shown. Significant differences (p < 0.05) between the hangover resistant group and hangover sensitive group are indicated by *. Significant differences (p < 0.05) between the control day and the alcohol day are indicated by γ. Abbreviation: 5-HTOL = 5-hydroxytryptophol, 5-HIAA = 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid.
