The aim of this study was to investigate the interactive effects of exercise training and
chronic ethanol consumption on metabolism, capillarity, and myofibrillar composition in rat …

Rats were pair-fed either a nutritionally complete liquid diet containing 36% of total calories
as ethanol or isovolumetric amounts of the same diet in which ethanol was substituted by …

An investigation was made into the characteristics of an experimental chronic alcoholic
myopathy in the young rat. Male Wistar rats were fed a diet for 6 weeks in which ethanol …

Ethanol is recognized to affect adversely carbohydrate metabolism in skeletal muscle. This
paper seeks to establish whether ethanol acutely impairs glycogen repletion during recovery …

Several studies have clearly suggested that ethanol has profound effects on skeletal muscle
function although the specific mechanisms for the effects of ethanol remain unclear. At least …

Individuals who have consumed alcohol chronically accumulate glycogen in their skeletal
muscles. Changes in the energy balance caused by alcohol consumption might lead to …

The aim of the present study is to analyse the relative and combined effect of ethanol and
protein malnutrition on muscle changes in ethanol-fed rats. The study was performed in 32 …

Chronic ethanol feeding in the rat is associated with a skeletal myopathy involving primarily
type-II muscle fibers, which is recognised to be mediated via a specific impairment in protein …

This article reviews the effects of ethanol on skeletal and smooth muscle. A brief summary of
its clinical effects is provided, with a rationale for the use of suitable animal models to study …

Skeletal muscle myopathy is caused by prolonged ethanol misuse and affects between half
and two-thirds of chronic alcohol misusers. This chronic myopathy is characterized by a …
