Effect of Perftoran on free radical homeostasis during alcohol withdrawal syndrome

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2007 Jan;143(1):43-5. doi: 10.1007/s10517-007-0012-3.

Abstract

We studied the effects of Perftoran on free radical processes in the liver of rats with withdrawal syndrome after chronic alcohol intoxication. Administration of Perftoran in the period of ethanol withdrawal eliminated the signs of oxidative stress and prevented elevation of enzyme activities in the blood, which reflects improvement of structural and functional characteristics of liver cell membranes.
