title: [Effects of chronic alcohol drinking on rat's prostate. Experimental study].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We have studies both the morphologic and morphometric modifications that the alcohol induces in subjected rats to chronic intake of alcohol and to evaluate the reversibility of this alterations after suppressing the ingesta of alcohol.
  
  
  METHODS
  The animals underwent diverse outlines of chronic intake of alcohol and diverse morphometric parameters of the prostate were valued at the level of optic microscopy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Two morphologic prostatic patterns was observed according to the studied group of animals (experimental or control). It seems to be that the dose of alcohol was the factor that more it influenced in the morphometric variations of the cells.
