Effects of long-term administration of alcoholic beverages on the kidney, heart, skeletal muscle and pancreas of rats. A histological study.
No pathological changes in the pancreas, kidneys or skeletal muscle were found in rats maintained for 8 to 9 months with a diet in which alcohol made up 50% of the total calories. An increase of the dietary fat content to 38% did not cause any fatty infiltration of the myocardium.
