Abstract
The effect of acute ethanol intake on lipid peroxidation (LP) and proteins in red blood cells (RBC) was explored. The amount of malondialdehyde (MDA; an indicator of LP) was elevated transiently when the maximal ethanol level in whole blood was observed. In contrast, erythrocyte membrane proteins were not affected. In in vitro experiments both ethanol and acetaldehyde did not alter the MDA levels. These results indicate that the metabolism of ethanol or acetaldehyde beyond the RBCs is required in order to detect LP on these cells.Entities:
