the parallel decrease of crf binding to rat-erythrocyte and pituitary membranes following chronic ethanol treatment suggests that crf binding to erythrocyte and pituitary membranes is modulated in a similar direction , which further suggests that the determination of crf binding to erythrocytes may provide an important clinical tool to indirectly assess crf-receptor levels in the pituitary gland and thereby enhance our understanding of ethanol-induced disorders of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in patients .
