ABSTRACT
The secretory epithelium of the choroid plexus of thelateral ventricles of male Wistar rats submitted to chronic alcoholism for a period of 300 days was analyzed morphometrically by light microscopy. The mean height of the choroid epithelium was determined for control (C), alcoholic (A) and abstemious (Ab) groups throughout the experimental period. A slight hypertrophy was observed for the animals of the A and Ab groups up to 240 days of treatment compared to the C group.At 300 days of treatment a reduction in mean height of the choroid epithelium was observed in Ab animals when compared to A animals after the same period of treatment.
