Abstract
Ethanol metabolism causes oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation not only in liver but also in extra-hepatic tissues. Ethanol administration has been shown to cause oxidative degradation and depletion of hepatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in rodents, but its in vivo effects on the mtDNA of extra-hep …
