Alcohol pathology and liver pathology induced by ethanol in particular are one is the most importent problems of modern medicine. It’s known that the high morbidity and mortality rate caused by regular use of alcoholic beverages is associated with toxic effects of ethanol on the most important human organs, primarily liver. The aim of investigation was determination the liver arginase activity and Kupffer cells importance in liver detoxication function and body temperature regulation in rats with chronic ethanol intoxication. In experiments on rats it was istablished, that chronic ethanol intoxication is accompanied by decrease in body temperature, liver arginase activity and increase of the level of «middle molecules» in plasma, and the extent of blood toxicity, the activity of plasma alanineaminotransferase and aspartate- aminotransferase, as well as the duration of narcotic sleep.
