title: Interaction between glucose diet and ethanol on rat liver microsomal induction and liver plasma membrane damage in chronic hexachlorobenzene intoxication.
abstract: Male Wistar rats fed for 60 days a glucose diet containing 17.5 mmol hexachlorobenzene/kg show a less pronounced increase in serum parameters and microsomal cytochrome P-450 concentration and a lower decrease in liver plasma membrane 5'-nucleotidase, K+, Na+- and Mg++-adenosine triphosphatase activities than the controls fed standard diet + hexachlorobenzene. Addition of 10% ethanol to the drinking water eliminates the "glucose effect". The glucose diet and ethanol exert contrasting effects on microsomal enzyme induction and liver plasma membrane damage in hexachlorobenzene intoxication.
