Ethanol induced cardiomyopathy--role of periodic fasting
1Department of Neurology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee 53226.
Abstract:
The periodic fasting in presence of continuous ethanol feeding produces pronounced morphological changes in the myocardium and its organelles of the rats. This effect of ethanol could be directly related to the sensitive state of myocardium to the former, specially when ethanol becomes an important source of energy. This is proved further by intraperitoneal injection of 40% ethanol, when profound mitochondrial morphological changes, even leading to formation of lysosome like structures, are evident in the myocardium. The study has stressed the pronounced direct effect of ethanol and its metabolites in the development of morphological changes of the myocardium.

Metabolic States of the Body: The Postabsorptive State
Initially, glycogen stored in the liver is broken down to release glucose into the bloodstream, while glycogen in the muscles is broken down to supply glucose for energy directly within the muscle cells. As glycogen stores diminish,...
