## Abstract A 3‐ml aliquot of 30% ethanol was fed daily to normal as well as zinc‐treated (227 mg l^−1^) rats for periods of 2, 4 and 8 weeks. A highly significant increase in the levels of hepatic lipid peroxidation was observed in ethanol‐fed rats after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. On the other ha

✦ Synopsis
Sex dependence of copper. zinc. iron 11 utritional status and hepatic lipid peroxidation was studied in gonadectomized, hormone suhstituted and sham-operated male and female rats. The experiment was performed on 11-Wistar rats (I06 10 g) fed conventional laboratory food a d libitum for I 2 weeks. I h c estrogen dependence of copper status is fully contirmcd by the results of this study. I n horinonally active females the mnlondialdehyde production was depressed which is supposed to be connected with high copper and low triglyceride levels in the liver. T h e anaemia observed i n estrogen substituted rats may be a result of lower lipid peroxidation rate. ' [ h e levels of retinol and alkaline phosphatase activity in sera are probably influenced by estrogen action. I t is suggested that testosterone leads to acceleration of lipid peroxidation.
