title: [Alcohol and metabolic disorders].
abstract: Alcohol can cause disturbance in the main metabolic pathways. Alterations of glycoregulation are particularly frequent in chronic alcoholics as well as disorders of lipoprotein. Other biochemical abnormalities affect protein, vitamins and trace elements. But it is often difficult to decide the extent these abnormalities are the result of the direct toxic effect of alcohol or secondary to organ damage.
