✦ Synopsis
Ethanol increases the uptake of 45Ca by isolated baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells in vitro. The effect is dependent on ethanol and 45Ca++ concentration and on the incubation time. Fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) added at different concentration during the pre-incubation exerts a protective effect through a membrane-stabilizing action which is consistent with its in vivo anti-alcohol activity documented in previous studies.
