Hepatic steatosis was induced in rats by feeding nutritionally adequate liquid diet containing ethanol as 36% of energy for 4-5 weeks. After 24 h fasting and withdrawal from ethanol, liver ischaemia for 30 min followed by 2 h reperfusion resulted in a significant increase in microsomal lipid peroxide content and a decrease in reduced glutathione content as well as in protein synthesis with a rapid accumulation of triglyceride in the liver. In rats fed a non-ethanol diet or those fed a high-cholesterol diet with hepatic steatosis, however, similar phenomena were not found. These findings suggest that chronic ethanol feeding potentiates hepatic lipid peroxidation.

D008862 Microsomes, Liver Closed vesicles of fragmented endoplasmic reticulum created when liver cells or tissue are disrupted by homogenization. They may be smooth or rough. Liver Microsomes,Liver Microsome,Microsome, Liver
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction

D000431 Ethanol A clear, colorless liquid rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. It has bactericidal activity and is used often as a topical disinfectant. It is widely used as a solvent and preservative in pharmaceutical preparations as well as serving as the primary ingredient in ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
