Comparative studies of the action of long duration alcohol drinking on rat pancreatic exocrine cells
Abstract:
The influence of a long term ingestion of ethanol on the rat exocrine pancreas has been studied by electron microscopy. The comparison of micrographs from alcoholic and non alcoholic pancreas allowed us to compare the different organelles of acinar pancreatic cells. These data have been submitted to factorial analysis of correspondences. The ultrastructural modifications revealed out by this analysis are in good agreement with the hypothesis of an adaptation of exocrine cells to a chronic hyperfunctional state.
