Brush border enzymatic activities (maltase, lactase and sucrase) have been determined in the ileal mucosa of rats subjected to a 30% ethanol ingestion for 3 and 5 months. The data were compared with the results obtained with control rats. Mucosal protein content after 3 months of ethanol treatment was similar to that of control rats. Maltase, lactase and sucrase specific activities in ileal mucosa were significantly decreased in ethanol-fed animals as compared to control rats. After 5 months of ethanol consumption, the protein content was decreased in ethanol-fed rats. However, no differences were found between specific activities of maltase, lactase and sucrase of ethanol-fed with respect to control rats. It is suggested that prolonged exposure of rats to ethanol results in adaptive responses to the effects of shorter periods of exposure on intestinal mucosal function.

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.

D000437 Alcoholism A primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. It is characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial. Each of these symptoms may be continuous or periodic.
