[Quantitative informational estimation of the degree of liver damage on a model of chronic alcoholic intoxication].

In the rat liver at a chronic alcoholic intoxication produced with various doses of ethanol, a double phased picture of informational characteristics has been revealed in the cellular nuclei under a linear increase of the dose. An analysis of corresponding distribution of the hepatocytic nuclei has been performed according to their size and informational characteristics. On this base, the limiting dose of ethanol is estimated for development of the hepatic alcoholic lesion.
