Abstract

In the course of our experiments on hepatic glucose metabolism after laparotomy and after partial hepatectomy in the rat (14, 15), we have studied the effect of ethanol in these two situations. This report, which is only concerned with the latter, consists of two main parts: I) ethanol and gluconeogenesis studied by modification induced on the hepatic level of the metabolites of the Embden-Meyerhof pathway in starved rats (partially hepatectomized or not), and II) ethanol and glycogen metabolism studied by changes induced on hepatic glycogen level, and on the rate of the limiting enzymes here involved, in normally fed rats (partially hepatectomized).
