ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the liver damage caused by single high-dose intake of ethanol in mice. Methods Twenty-four male Kunming mice were randomized into 2 groups. The mice in ethanol group were treated with single dose of ethanol (50%,V/V,12 ml/kg),while the control mice received distilled water. The serum biochemical indices were determined 16 h after ethanol exposure. The hepatic triglyceride (TG) and free fatty acid (FFA) levels and the histological changes were examined to evaluate the fat accumulation,while the Ca2+-induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) was detected for the mitochondrial function assay. The liver and mitochondrial malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels were determined to assess the lipid peroxidation level. The activities and the protein expression of the CYP2E1,1A2,3A were determined. Results Slow response,ataxia and righting reflex disappearance were gradually emerged,which disappeared at about 3 h later. Compared with the control group,the liver index,the serum ALT and AST activities,the hepatic TG,FFA,and MDA levels,and the activity and protein level of the CYP2E1 significantly increased,while the liver GSH level significantly decreased (P0.05). In addition,A540 of ethanol group was higher than that of control group (P
