Abstract
Cellular protection against free radical reactions was measured in myocardium from ethanol-fed rats using ethanol administration in drinking water as a model of moderate alcohol intoxication. The activities of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione-S-transferase were higher in ethanol-fed rats than in controls, whereas Mn-SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities were not altered by ethanol treatment. Myocardial zinc was higher and selenium concentration lower in ethanol-fed rats than in controls. Ethanol consumption, which failed to modify the myocardial vitamin E level, did not result in increased lipid peroxidation, but decreased cytosolic and membraneous protein thiols.Entities:
