title: Erythrocyte and plasma lipid peroxides in chronic alcoholic patients.
abstract: Erythrocytes from alcoholics without liver cirrhosis and control subjects were examined for the susceptibility to lipid peroxidation. Erythrocytes of patients were found to be sensitive to H2O2-induced peroxidation as compared to controls. In addition, chronic alcoholics showed a high level of plasma lipid peroxide levels. These results suggest the stimulation of lipid peroxidation in chronic alcoholics.
