Effect of chronic ethanol administration on serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol in rat.
In rats chronic ethanol administration was found in fasting state not to induce hypertriglyceridemia but moderate hypercholesterolemia through an increased level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol. In the liver, cholesterol contents slightly and triglyceride centents significantly increased. The result suggests that cholesterol accumulation in the liver leads to an increased level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol.
