Alcohol increases the solubility of anaesthetics in the liver.

چکیده
Liver/gas partition coefficients for isoflurane, enflurane, halothane and methoxyflurane increased two-fold in rats killed 16 h after a single injection of 15% ethanol 7 g kg-1. In contrast, blood/gas and brain/gas partition coefficients did not change. Chronic (21 days) ingestion of ethanol increased liver/gas partition coefficients four-fold, although this increase was largely attributable to nutritional changes rather than to a direct effect of ethanol. Only minimal changes (usually not more than 15%) occurred in blood/gas and brain/gas partition coefficients. On account of this effect of ethanol on anaesthetic solubility in the liver, the ingestion of ethanol may modestly increase uptake of anaesthetic during the induction of anaesthesia.

Starvation increases the solubility of volatile anaesthetics in rat liver.
We evaluated the effect of starvation on anaesthetic solubility in tissues involved in lipid transport (blood) or metabolism (liver) and in a tissue not involved in either (brain). The liver/gas partition coefficients of isoflurane, enflurane, halothane and methoxyflurane in rats increased by 15-20% after 6 h of starvation and reached a maximum increase of 35-42% after 24 h of starvation. After...

متن کاملRisk factors for liver cancer worldwide.
: In this short commentary, we discuss the most important risk factors for liver cancer. One of the most striking risks is infection with hepatitis B and C viruses, leading to chronic hepatitis, which may later develop into hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The use of alcohol may lead to cirrhosis, which is scarring the liver, is associated with 30 a more increase in HCC and 10-20 times more incr...
