Abstract
Brain lipids are studied in rats with chronic alcohol intoxication after injection of S-adenosyl methionine, ethanolamine, and their combination. The levels of total lipids, phospholipids, and cardiolipin are increased and those of sphyngomyelin and cerebrosides-III decreased after a 14-day inhalation of ethanol. Combined administration of S-adenosyl methionine and ethanolamine in chronic alcoholization eliminated ethanol-induced shifts in concentrations of phospho- and glycolipid fractions in rat brain.
