Lipid abnormalities in plasma and red cell membranes of chronic alcoholics

Abstract: The fatty acid composition of plasma and red cell membranes was determined in alcoholics without liver dysfunction upon admission for withdrawal therapy and after a 4-week period of abstinence, and in normal subjects. Fatty acid analysis of plasma by capillary gas chromatography showed a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids in alcoholics on admission than in normal subjects. Other major differences in plasma fatty acids in alcoholics were the reduction of linoleic acid and the increase in palmitic acid. … Show more

“…Ethanol may cause changes in the activities of ⌬5 and ⌬6 desaturases, enzymes involved in the formation of these fatty acids. An activation of those enzymes was suggested in previous articles dealing with regular, moderate consumption (Clemens et al, 1986;Simonetti et al, 1995) but not in another in which the ethanol ingestion was much higher (200 g/day) (Wang and Reitz, 1983).…”

“…Normalwerte werden ca. 1-4 Wochen nach Alkoholentzug erreicht (8)(9)(10)(11). Als Ursache falsch positiver Erhöhungen wird ein Einfluß von Sedativa wie Phenobarbital, Tranquilizern und Lovastatin, aber auch von Training und körperlicher Belastung (Jogging) bzw.…”
