Effect of chronic ethanol feeding on lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation in relation to liver pathology

Liver lipid peroxidation, nonheme iron, antioxidants, and protein oxidation were investigated
in experimental alcohol–induced liver disease in the rat. Wistar male rats were
intragastrically and continuously infused for 4 weeks with a high–fat diet plus an ethanol or
an isocaloric amount of dextrose, maintaining a high blood alcohol level (200–300 mg%).
This model induced fatty liver, spotty necrosis, and focal inflammation. This pathology was
associated with an enhanced lipid peroxidation and a decrease in the major antioxidant …
