[Effect of single and chronic administration of ethanol on several metabolic indices in animals]

The effect of one-time and 10-day long administration of ethanol (2 ml of a 20% solution per 100 g of body weight) on the activity of alcohol-, lactate-dehydrogenase, aspartate- and alanine-aminotransferase in cytostructures of different rats' organs was studied. One-time introduction of ethanol intensifies the processes of the amino acids transamination in individual cytostructures, reduces the activity of alcohol- and lactate-dehydrogenase. A course-wise administration of ethanol produces a still greater reduction of their activity.
