Abstract
Liver Fe and Cu contents (determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry) were found to be higher in alcoholized male albino mice than in controls. Alcoholized animals killed at the 180th day of life also showed higher liver Fe and Cu contents than the alcoholized animals sacrificed at the 85th day of life. A significant correlation was established between liver Fe content and size of the pericentral hepatocytes and their nuclei. No differences between alcoholic and controls were obtained regarding liver Zn content, whereas Mn showed a clear tendency to be higher in the alcoholics.
