Increase in content of sulfatides I and II and a decrease in cerebrosides was found in brain of rats after acute alcoholization with 25% ethanol, 4 g/kg, intragastric administration. In this case incorporation of 1,2-14C-ethanol into cerebrosides II and III was decreased. Content of sulfatides I was increased, while specific radioactivity of cerebrosides III--decreased as a result of chronic alcohol intoxication (25% ethanol, intragastric administration, 7 g/kg daily within 21 days).
