[Lipid fractions of rat liver upon administration of ethanol and ethanolamine]
Abstract:
After a single intragastric administration of 25% ethanol in a dose of 1 g/kg of body mass content of total lipids, lysophosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and cardiolipin was increased while phosphatidyl choline was decreased in the rat liver tissue. At the same time, there was a decrease in the rate of 2- 14C-acetate incorporation into esters of cholesterol, total phospholipids, lysophosphatidyl choline, sphingomyelin, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and cardiolipin. Administration of ethanolamine simultaneously with ethanol contributed to normalization of the lipid spectrum, impaired by the single ethanol inoculation.
