  • Title: Acute effects of ethanol and acetaldehyde on plasma phosphate level.
    Author: Matsubara K, Nakahara M, Takahashi S, Fukui Y.
    Journal: J Pharm Pharmacol; 1982 Jun; 34(6):373-6. PubMed ID: 6124620.
    Abstract:
    Oral administration of ethanol in a dose of 65 mmol kg-1 produced marked change of plasma phosphate level in rabbits. Hypophosphataemia was observed for the first 2 h after administration followed by significant increase of plasma phosphate at 5 h. Hypophosphataemia did not appear when ethanol was given to the rabbits pretreated with pyrazole. When animals were injected with disulfiram in advance, the duration of hyperphosphataemia due to ethanol was prolonged. Administration of acetaldehyde at a dose of 1.5 mmol kg-1 produced hyperphosphataemia. In this study, plasma phosphate was not associated with change in calcium level. These results suggest that the hypophosphataemia observed was related to the metabolic process of ethanol utilizing alcohol dehydrogenase, and that acetaldehyde, a metabolite of ethanol, might induce the hyperphosphataemia in the animals.
