Adolescent rats exposed to a binge drinking ethanol model showed oxidative stress and disrupted energy and protein metabolism regulators in skeletal muscle, alongside altered serum myokine profiles. These findings suggest that adolescent binge drinking induces skeletal muscle damage with systemic endocrine consequences.

BD exposure increased superoxide dismutase and catalase activities while decreasing glutathione peroxidase, resulting in elevated lipid and protein oxidation. Energy metabolism was disrupted through decreased total AMPKα expression but increased AMPK phosphorylation ratio, alongside reduced SREBP1. Protein turnover markers indicated a catabolic shift, with decreased pmTOR and increased FOXO3a, Atrogin-1/MAFBX, and ULK1.
