| Research Abstract |
Effects of alcohol consumption on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in ruminants were investigated by determining the changes of plasma concentrations and net fluxes by splanchnic tissues of metabolites with ruminal ethanol infusion in sheep. Ruminal ethanol infusion decreased plasma glucose concentration, increased plasma triglyceride concentration and net hepatic release of triglyceride in sheep. These results indicate that ethanol has a potential role of facilitatinghepatic lipid synthesis in ruminants.
