[Acetylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase in various brain structures in chronic alcoholic intoxication].

The authors studied the rat brain after prolonged (up to 18 months) alcohol intoxication as well as the progeny of female rats after alcohol consumption for 4 months. Some changes in the activity of acetyl cholinesterase and monoamine oxidase in different structures of the brain in parents and progeny were unidirectional while others were not. Other findings included a weight loss during alcoholization and a decline in the fertility and viability of the progeny.
