Abstract:
Morphological examination of the liver and biochemical studies of the serum were carried out on rats fed: a) ethanol p.o. in the daily dose of 6 g/kg for 4 weeks and maintained on standard diet (Et-OH) and b) ethanol in the same doses but fed the BCAA enriched diet (to amount of 1.174 mM/day/rat) were carried out. It can be concluded that BCAA enriched diet given simultaneously with ethanol prevent in part the morphological and ultrastructural changes in liver and improve positive body weight gain of experimental animals.
