We recently presented preliminary data indicating the presence of antibodies against acetaldehyde adducts in sera of over 70% of alcoholic patients. To assess the respective roles of liver disease and alcohol consumption as well as the specificity of this immune response, 141 patients in various sta

Portal hypertension in alcoholic liver disease has been attributed to an increased resistance to blood flow either of sinusoidal or of postsinusoidal origin. The former should be accompanied by sinusoidal compression while the latter is expected to result in an increased or a normal sinusoidal diame
Formalin-fixed sections from the brains of 36 patients (30 alcoholic and 6 nonalcoholic) with autopsy-proven cirrhosis who died while in a hepatic coma were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and examined for the presence of diencephalic, cerebellar, pontine, and basal ganglia lesions. Significant
modification by acetaldehyde correlates well with the severity Liver proteins form adducts with acetaldehyde and are of liver injury in ethanol-fed rats, whereas modification by modified by products of lipid peroxidation in alcohol-fed anithe lipid peroxidation product 4-HNE shows no correlation mal
In liver and serum, AST activity is dependent on two isoenzymes, which are mitochondrial and cytosolic in nature. In an attempt to explain the well-known increase of serum mitochondrial AST-to-total AST ratio in chronic alcoholism (which is due to a specific increase of the mitochondrial isoenzyme),
