De nombreux effets toxiques de l'intoxication alcoolique chronique ont été attribués à l'acétaldéhyde, produit de dégradation de l'éthanol par l'alcool déshydrogénase [...] Davis et Walsh, par ailleurs, ont émis, en 1970, une hypothèse attribuant la dépendance à la biosynthèse de produits de condensation entre certaines neuro-amines et l'acétaldéhyde. Ces produits, les tétrahydro-iso-quinolines (T.I.Q.) sont des alcaloïdes proches des opiacés et susceptibles d'avoir une action «morphine like». 1, record 1, French, - t%C3%A9trahydro%2Diso%2Dquinoline

Le «Dictionnaire des sigles et abréviations techniques et scientifiques» de Jean Murith (code MUSIG, 1982) donne «tétrahydroisoquinone» pour l'abréviation «TIQ» (ce qui serait pareil en anglais à l'exception de l'accent aigu). Nous n'avons pu attester ce terme dans une autre source cependant. 2, record 2, French, - t%C3%A9trahydro%2Disoquinol%C3%A9ine
