Methods and Results: PG...

...Rebekah R. Smith; Jina Hong; Alison E. Harvey; Tamara Lewis; Daniel Diaz; Nomelí P. Núñez Background: The prevalence of obese adult women has increased dramatically in the United States. Individuals consuming alcoholic beverages may obtain as much as 6–10% of their calories from ethanol...

...O. Fernandez-Borrachero; J.M. Rubio; M.J. Delgado; Carreras Sánchez; M.L. Murillo This study sought to determine the intestinal in vivo absorption of folic acid and methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) by jejunum surface at different times, after 20 weeks of 30% ethanol ingestion. The absorption results...

Murillo; Carreras Sánchez This study was designed to determine the intestinal in vivo absorption of folic acid and methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) by the caecum surface at different times after 20 weeks of 30% ethanol ingestion. The absorption...

...O. Carreras; A.L. Vazquez; J.M. Rubio; M.J. Delgado; M.L. Murillo This study concerns in vivo folic acid and methyltetrahydrofolic acid (MTHF) absorption by the whole intestinal surface after 20 weeks of 30% ethanol ingestion in drinking water. The results were compared with control rats fed ad...

... of ethanol. In addition, sesamin showed a significant protective effect against the accumulation of fat droplets and vacuolar degeneration in the mouse liver, as confirmed on histological examination. Sesamin, at the level of 100 mg/kg body weight, also tended to prevent liver lipid accumulation by carbon...

...S.C. Cunnane; Y.-S. Huang; M.S. Manku; D.F. Horrobin Hamsters fed ethanol were given three different dietary sources of essential fatty acids; safflower oil, evening primrose oil (both mainly n-6 fatty acids) or linseed oil (mainly n-3 fatty acids). After 7 weeks, plasma, erythrocyte and liver...

...S.C. Cunnane; M·S. Manku; D.F. Horrobin In choice situations, the golden Syrian hamster shows a strong preference to drink an ethanol solution to water alone. Because of the known effects of ethanol on lipid metabolism, its effects on liver fatty acids were therefore studied in the hamster. After...

...S.C. Cunnane; K.R. McAdoo; D.F. Horrobin Male Golden Syrian hamsters at 1 year of age were given a basal diet and either distilled water or 10% absolute ethanol in distilled water to drink for 1 year in order to determine the influence of prolonged ethanol intake on tissue long chain fatty acid...

...Per Hansson; Peter Nilsson-Ehle The effects of ethanol, acetaldehyde, acetate and lactate on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity and regulation have been investigated. None of the substances had any direct effect on the enzyme or enzyme-substrate complex. Ethanol and acetate interfered with LPL...

...M. Antal; K. Nagy; M.B. Bedő Effects of fructose, starch, lactose plus starch and ethanol on the drug-metabolizing enzyme system of the liver were analyzed in rats fed fructose, starch or lactose plus starch diets for 21 days. The activity of aminopyrine demethylase and aniline hydroxylase...

...Jean-Pierre von Wartburg The metabolic effects of alcohol are closely related to organic as well as societal aspects of alcoholism. Individual differences in the biologic sensitivity to ethanol are thought to represent important features underlying these afflictions. The results of recent...

...Guillermo Ugarte; Tamara Peresa The rate of ethanol metabolism was studied in 3 hyperthyroidism patients without therapy and in 2 after 1 week of treatment with propylthiouracil and reserpine. The rate of ethanol metabolism (mg/kg/h ± SEM) was 386 ± 57 in the 3 hyperthyroid patients, 184.5 ± 2.5...

.... In response to oral ingestion of ethanol, only a slight but biologically not impressive gastrin and insulin increase was found. Intragastric cooling did not have any distinct bearing on the release of gastrin and insulin. Results indicate that gastrin is an important mediator of the stimulatory effect...

...Owe Johnson; Olle Hernell The effect of a single large dose of ethanol on the activity of lipoprotein lipase in adipose tissue of previously fasted male and female rats was followed over a 16-hour period. Feeding of ethanol caused an increase in the plasma triacylglycerol concentration in both male...

...J.-C. Laporte In the presence of ethanol, lantitryptic activity of rat plasma, as well as serum, decreased to the same extent through increased dissociation of trypsin inhibitor complexes. Proteolytic activity of rat plasma increased in the presence of ethanol with an effect similar...

... for the study. The subjects were moderate alcohol drinkers (<30 g ethanol/day), matched in body weight and frame size. The participants were given ethanol (0.5 g/kg) and ethanol + honey (0.5 g/kg + 1.25 ml/kg) on two different occasions separated by 1 week. The results show that honey significantly (p...
