The effect of long-term ethanol treatment on a metal binding protein fraction in liver and kidneys of mice.
In mice 4-12 weeks ingestion of ethanol decreased the concentration of a metallothionein-like protein fraction in the liver but not in the kidneys. The zinc and copper concentration also tended to decrease in the liver and remained unaffected in the kidneys.
