Male rats were given ethanol for 24, 48 and 72 h, 7 and 14 days. Whereas liver weights and the cytosol enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase were not changed, significant increases were obtained as early as 24 h after ethanol was given for microsomal ethanol-oxidising activity and at 48 h for aniline hydroxylase and cytochrome P-450. Microsomal protein concentration was increased only at 14 days.
