Abstract:
The effect of acute administration of ethanol on endotoxin-induced liver injury was studied. Biochemical and histological results indicated that ethanol pretreatment protected endotoxin-induced liver injury through the improvement of hepatic blood circulation, which is probably associated with an inhibitory effect of ethanol on platelet functions and coagulation system.
