title: Oxidative stress in ethanol intoxicated rats.
abstract: The present work has investigated the correlation between short-term ethanol administration and the free radicals production in rat liver. The non-protein-SH and lipid peroxides contents, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities were investigated. Increased lipid peroxides concentration, decreased glutathione content, significant increase in superoxide dismutase activity and a decrease in glutathione peroxidase activity were observed.
