A single acute dose of ethanol (6 mg/kg) has been shown in rats to result in the production of fatty liver characterized by the accumulation of triglycerides ( 1, 2 ) . Pyrazole, an inhibitor of liver alcohol dehydrogenase and the microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS) ( 3 -S ) , has been used to inhibit ethanol metabolism in experiments attempting to determine the mechanism behind hepatic triglyceride accumulation (6, 7 ) .These experiments led to somewhat conflicting results. Thus, Morgan and DiLuzio ( 7 ) (1970).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
