Abstract
The glucose output of rat liver slices was depressed by the addition of alcohol to the incubation medium. Prolonged alcohol treatment (3-6 months) reduced the liver glycogen. Prolonged alcohol treatment reduced the glucose uptake and net glycogen synthesis in isolated diaphragms, if the animal is fasted before sacrifice. The presence of ethanol in the medium increased the glucose uptake of diaphragms from these animals.Keywords
