| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the turnover of epithelial cells in the rat intestine. The metabolism of ethanol generates ROS, which are implicated in cellular injury, but the levels of lipid peroxidation in intestine in chronic alcoholism are unknown. AIM: To investigate the effects of ethanol ingestion on lipid peroxidation, and anti- and pro-oxidant enzyme systems in enterocytes across the crypt-villus axis in intestine. METHODS: Wistar rats (90-100 g) were administered 1 mL of 30% ethanol daily for 39 days. Intestinal epithelial cells were isolated in fractions. Malondialdehyde levels, and activities of glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase were determined in various cell fractions. Incorporation of H3-thymidine into DNA of enterocytes was also determined. RESULTS: Lipid peroxidation was elevated by two- to three-folds in both villus and crypt cells in ethanol-fed animals compared to controls. The activities of GST and GR were four- to six-folds higher in villus tip cells compared to crypt base cells. The activities of SOD and catalase were five- to seven-fold higher in crypt base cells compared to villus tip cells. Ethanol feeding elevated the activities of SOD (76-190%) and catalase (20-150%) in enterocytes all along the crypt-villus axis compared to the controls. H3 thymidine incorporation into DNA of enterocytes was reduced by half in ethanol-fed rats compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS: There is a gradient in the concentration of lipid peroxides in enterocytes across the crypt-villus axis, being high at the villus tip and low at the crypt base in the rat intestine. Ethanol feeding enhanced lipid peroxidation in both villus and crypt cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
