Experimental Modeling of Alcohol-Induced Liver Cirrhosis in Rats

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

An experimental model of alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis in white outbred rats was developed: intragastric administration of 40% ethanol (3 g/kg) every other day for 3 weeks and simultaneous intraperitoneal administration of 1% of N-nitrozodimethylamine (5 mg/kg) for 4 consecutive days of each week.
