Alcohol: the role in nutrition and health

Comparison of the Vietnamese Diet with Diets from Other Countries for Sarcopenia

“…This is completely suitable for the Vietnamese dietary pattern; the fertile land is ideal for growing food crops and vegetable sources of carbohydrates, which provide many vitamins and minerals as well as highly bioactive compounds. Light to moderate alcohol consumption may have beneficial effects on adult bone, leading to higher bone mineral density and reduced age-related bone loss ( 3 ). However, in Vietnam, hard alcohol or beer use is especially prevalent.…”

Biochemical parameters of blood and tissue of the gastrocnemius muscle in chronically alcoholized rats under oral administration of C(60) fullerene aqueous solution

“…Chronic alcohol intake leads to glycolytic disorders in rat skeletal muscle [8]. For example, the doi: https://doi.org/10.15407/ubj95.02.058 activity of the glycolytic enzymes aldolase, pyruvate kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase significantly decreased after prolonged ethanol administration [9], which was consistent with the results in humans [10]. At the same time, the opposite effects were observed in the white gastrocnemius muscles of male rats, indicating a potential effect of ethanol on fibre type on glycolytic enzyme activity [11,12].…”
