Ethanol-induced alterations in ceruloplasmin activity.
In the guinea pigs with experimental alcoholism lower ceruloplasmin activity than in normal animals has been found in blood serum. In vitro neither ethanol nor acetaldehyde (10(-6)M--10(-3)M) influenced ceruloplasmin activity. A possible mechanism of ethanol-induced alterations is discussed.
