The effect of cimetidine on ethanol concentrations in fasting women and men after two different doses of alcohol.

Background: Serum ethanol concentrations may become higher when alcohol is consumed during treatment with histamine receptor antagonists, especially if ethanol is ingested postprandially. Only a few studies have investigated fasting subjects, and women have only been investigated sporadically.

Methods: The present study compared serum ethanol concentrations after a 4-h fast followed by a low (0.

Working capacity and expression of myosin heavy chain isoforms in skeletal muscle of chronic alcoholic men without liver disease after 1 day and 4 weeks of alcohol abstinence.

1. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of chronic alcohol ingestion on working capacity and on the expression of myosin heavy chain isoforms in fibre types of human skeletal muscle. 2.
