Zusammenfassung: | The aim of this study was to determine whether serum lipid composition and lipolytic activities in alcoholinduced liver dystrophy were modified by the co‐administration of polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PPC). Chronic alcohol intoxication was induced in rats by intragastric ethanol administration of 3.5 g/kg body weight per day over 56 days. Aqueous PPC suspension was given intragastrally in doses of 100 and 300 mg/kg body weight. Chronic alcohol intoxication led to the development of protein and lipid dystrophy of hepatocytes. PPC partially prevented alcoholic injury of the liver cells and had a normalizing effect on cholesterol esterification, lipolysis of lipoproteins and on the fatty acid composition of the main lipoprotein classes. |
