Effect of strain difference on lipid metabolism in rats after an acute ethanol administration

Abstract

effect of some dietary components on fatty liver by using a model of the fatty liver induced by acute ethanol administration. We often observed no or only a slight lipid accumulation in the liver, even when we administered ethanol by the method reported in the previous paper.1} Wesupposed that one of the reasons might be due to the breeder and/or strain differences in the rats. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats at 5 weeks of age were obtained from Charles River Japan (Kanagawa), Nihon Clea (Tokyo), Nihon SLC (Shizuoka), and Seiwa
