Abstract
Chronic ethanol feeding as 12% or 36% of total calories caused a dose-dependent diminution of diamine oxidase activity in rat liver. Hepatic cadaverine and histamine levels were unmodified by ethanol, whereas putrescine increased, partially in relation to the decrease in diamine oxidase activity. Such results may be of interest in view of an aggravation of ethanol-induced hepatic damage when exogenous diamines and polyamines reach the liver in potentially toxic amounts.Keywords
