N2 - The paper reports on a study to determine if chronic ethanol administration produces changes in the metabolism of the essential elements Se, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn using an animal model of alcoholic cardiomyopathy (AC). Eighteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: an ad-lib control group (AL), a pair-fed control group (PF), and an ethanol-dosed group (ETOH). Ethanol produced substantial increases in liver Mn and decreases in liver Cu and Zn. Reduced food intake and ethanol ingestion were associated with a reduced percentage of ingested Se excreted in the urine. Deficiencies of Se, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn in myocardial tissue are not likely to be involved in the pathogenesis of AC in the rat.
