“Acute ethanol administration results in increased hepatic NADH/NAD+ ratio and inhibition of galactose elimination , tricarboxylic acid cycle activity, and fatty acid oxidation.”
“The low Kp of ethanol in turn was partly related to reduced concentrations of polar carbohydrates such as sialic acid and galactose (p less than 0.01) at the membrane surface.”

“Basal (Na+ + K+)ATPase activity, the sensitivity of the enzyme to inhibition by ethanol and noradrenaline added in vitro, and the concentrations of sialic acid and galactose were significantly reduced in the patients (p less than 0.0005).”

“This test involves measuring the blood galactose level, instead of the blood glucose, and the administration of ethyl alcohol to a subject prior to the test to delay the clearance of galactose from the circulation.”

“The inhibitory effect of ethanol on the galactose elimination as calculated from changes in the galactose elimination capacity and the galactose half-time was examined in three normal individuals, four patients with cirrhosis and ten patients with steatosis, most of whom were alcoholics.”

“It has been reported that human erythrocyte has also N-glycosylated glycoproteins in the membrane, and its sialic acid and galactose are reduced after chronic ethanol intake.”

“However, a profound inhibition (about 80%) was observed if D-galactosamine of the same dose was added after a preincubation of the cells with 40 mM ethanol and vice versa.”
“It shows that there is a strong mutual potentiation between D-galactosamine and ethanol in the inhibition of protein synthesis.”
