[Development of liver glycogen reserves in rats subjected to chronic alcoholic intoxication]. / Evolution des réserves de glycogène hépatique chez des rats soumis à une intoxication alcoolique chronique.

Literature offers many but very different informations about the effects of alcohol on the hepatic carbohydrates metabolism. Therefore we have tried to observe, in process of time, the evolution of the hepatic glycogen reserves on rats intoxicated by ethanol 40% during variable durations. Stuffing is made by oesophageal way at the rate of 6,4 g/kg/day. During this period of poisoning, we note a significant increasing of the hepatic glycogen reserves.
