Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

After 3 weeks of continuous ethanol intoxication by inhalation, the maximal number and affinity of the α-and β-receptors of rat heart were unchanged. These data indicate that adrenergic receptor disturbances are not involved in the mechanism of chronic ethanol-induced triglyceride deposition in the heart.
