title: Measuring gastric PGE2 release in healthy and alcoholic subjects after ethanol stimulation.
abstract: The aim of this work was to study the effect of 20% and 40% ethanol, administered acutely, on gastric PGE2 release in normal subjects and alcoholics. Ethanol 20% did not modify the release of PGE2 into the gastric juice, whereas 40% ethanol increased PGE2 release only in healthy subjects. The basal PGE2 levels were higher in alcoholic patients.
