|
For a period of 2 years Sprague-Dawley rats received 3% and 1% ethyl alcohol or an equicaloric amount of glucose in a semisynthetic liquid diet. Thereafter the tumour incidence was recorded. For male rats no neoplastic lesions were observed to be related to ethanol exposure. For females, when individual group comparisons were made, an increase in mammary gland tumours was seen for females receiving the low ethanol containing diet. In some tumour frequency comparisons the opposite, namely a decrease in the rate of incidence, was obtained. The overall information seems to indicate the absence of a carcinogenic activity of ethyl alcohol per se after long-term oral administration. Liver and bile duct injury was seen among males. Inflammatory reactions were seen among males in pancreas and for females in the clitoral gland. Hyperplasia was observed in the thyroid gland in both sexes and in the adrenal glands among females. Peripheral nerve degeneration was common in both sexes. |
