Effects of Ethanol and Liver Disease on the Vitamin-A Status of Rats and Humans
Abstract
dc:descriptionPathological responses to ethanol vary, and are often not predictable based upon the amount or duration of ethanol intake. These studies focused on the vitamin A status response to ethanol intake, using animal models to mimic chronic and binge ethanol intake with and without liver disease development. Ethanol was used in models without liver disease development; carbon tetrachloride (CCl$\sb4$) inhalation and dietary phenobarbitol was used in models of liver disease. A mixed group of human alcoholics was also studied.
