Here we investigate the brain metabolism of zebrafish to acute alcohol treatment by using the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and the whole brain extraction. Our results show that glutamate significantly decreased in a quasi-linear dose dependent manner, scyllo-inositol showed a smaller apparent increase only in the highest acute dose group and myo-inositol showed a significant decrease. We discuss the methodological novelty of our work and theorize about the implications of the brain neurochemcal changes from a behavioral perspective.
