Alcohol Consumption and Health Effects

Administration of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) to rats led to an increase in expired ethane by 15 min. Prior treatment of rats with phenobarbital led to a significant increase in both CCl4-stimulated ethane expiration and hepatic microsomal lipid diene conjugation, while prior treatment with 3-methylcholanthrene or CCl4 led to a decrease in both parameters. Treatment with isopropanol increased CQ4-stimulated ethane expiration, while neither ethanol nor diethyl maleate treatment altered the response to CCl4. Cobaltous chloride treatment significantly decreased CCl4-stimulated ethane expiration. A strong correlation was found between CCl4-stimulated hepatic microsomal lipid diene conjugation and ethane expiration.
