โฆ Synopsis
The effects of L-lysine, L-arginine, L-ornithine, and glycine on acute ethanol intoxication, and the degree of ethanolinduced CNS depression, were investigated. Amino acid treatment was showp to prolong the onset of ataxia, reduce the duration of sleeping time, and decrease the number of rats losing the righting reflex, but it did not alter the LDsp values in response to ethanol. The protective actions of the amino acids are attributed to the formation of an amino acid-acetalaehyde complex, although other possible interactions are discussed.
