The leaky gut of alcoholism: possible route of entry for toxic compounds
TL;DR: The increased intestinal permeability to toxic "non-absorbable" compounds of less than 5000 molecular weight may account for some of the extraintestinal tissue damage common in alcoholic patients.

Protein-calorie malnutrition associated with alcoholic hepatitis: Veterans administration cooperative study group on alcoholic hepatitis
TL;DR: The nearly constant association of either complete or partial kwashiorkor or marasmus suggests that the separation of these two entities is artificial in alcoholic patients with liver disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of ethanol on lipid metabolism.
TL;DR: The capacity of lipoprotein production and hyperlipemia development increases during chronic alcohol consumption, probably as a result of the concomitant hypertrophy of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, however, this compensation is relatively inefficient in ridding the liver of fat.

TL;DR: Alcohol abuse appears to be a risk factor in adverse fetal outcome, and excessive consumption has been implicated in impotency and early onset of postmenopausal amenorrhea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small Intestinal Damage and Changes in Cell Population Produced by Ethanol Ingestion in the Rat
TL;DR: Acute intragastric administration of ethanol in concentrations similar to those of common alcoholic beverages produced hemorrhagic erosions of the small intestinal villi in rats, which were most obvious proximally and were concentration-dependent.

Intake-excretion studies of fat and nitrogen in 7 patients with hepatolenticular degeneration (Wilson's disease).
TL;DR: Fecal fat excretion was slightly to moderately increased in 2 patients who had Wilson's disease with clinically overt cirrhosis and reverted to normal in these 2 patients as clinical improvement occurred.
