Abstract
- The variety of animal models used in the study of alcoholic liver disease reflects the formidable task of developing a model that replicates the human disease. We show that oral feeding of fatty acids derived from fish oil and ethanol induces fatty liver, necrosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. Together with the study of oxidative and nitrosative stress markers, cytokines, proteasome function, and protein studies, this model has provided an inexpensive and technically simple method of establishing pathological alcoholic liver injury.
