title: [Effects of polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine in alcoholic liver diseases].
abstract: The aim of this study is to assess "in vitro" the influence of polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine on the erythrocyte membrane fluidity in alcoholics (greater than 180 g/die) and control subjects (less than 50 g/die), investigated by the evaluation of fluorescent polarization of DPH. In both groups a significant increase of membrane microviscosity was observed after incubation with 0.04 microM and 0.08 microM of PC compared to baseline values.
