[Antistressor effect of ethanolamine in acute alcoholic intoxication]

Experiments on albino female rats have shown that ethanol, administered intragastrically at a single dose of 2 g/kg, demonstrates steroidogenic properties. Ethanolamine (a natural metabolic product), administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg, increases the basal level of corticosterone in the rat plasma suppressing the steroidogenic activity of ethyl alcohol.
