✦ Synopsis
The effects of acetaldehyde and ethanol treatments on hepatic lipid peroxidation are compared in rats after the administration of toxically corresponding doses. Wistar rats were given a single dose of acetaldehyde (0.5 g/kg) or ethanol (5 g/kg) intraperitoneally. The animals were killed 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12 and 24 h after treatments. The results indicate that acetaldehyde, like ethanol, stimulates hepatic lipid peroxidation and also selectively affects the hepatic mitochondria.

## Abstract The dithiocarbamates (DTCs) disulfiram, thiram, diethyldithiocarbamate and dimethyldithiocarbamate on the equimolar base inhibited to the same extent both the lipid peroxidation (LPO) induced by ascorbic acid (non‐enzymatic) and that stimulated by an NADPH‐regenerating system with CCl~4
