Abstract
Long-term feeding of ethanol to rats influences the lipid metabolism of the liver and the structure and function of the liver mitochondria. In order to see if the disturbed llpld metabolism changed the llpld composition of the liver mitochondria, the mitochondrial llplds were quantitatively determined. A slight but non-significant decrease in the content of phospholipids and an increase in that of neutral lipids were observed in mitochondria from alcohol-treated animals, as compared with controls. The composition of the phosphollpld fraction was nearly identical in the two groups of animals.
