title: [Biochemical characteristics of various adaptation mechanisms in acute alcoholic intoxication].
abstract: Phase character of metabolic shifts (ethanol, acetaldehyde, catecholamines content, alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase activity) has been revealed in the experiments on white non-inbred rats after a single administration of a sub-narcotic dose of ethanol. Some adaptation-adjustment mechanisms have been established which promote the decrease of the toxic effect of alcohol (induction of activity of alcohol-metabolising enzymes and condensation of acetaldehyde with catecholamines).
