Electron microscopic observation on osteocytes of chronically alcoholized rats.
Adult female Wistar rats were alcoholized with 5% to 20% of ethyl alcohol from 2 months onwards for 1 year. The alcohol was added to the drinking water. The animals were reared under conventional conditions. Their ossa femura were used for electron microscopical studies. Pathologic findings on osteocytes are described.
