The development of the acute ethanol-induced fatty liver in the rat was significantly inhibited by the prior administration of [alpha]-tocopherol acetate. Complete inhibition of the ethanol-induced fatty liver was induced by the prior intraperitoneal administration of the antioxidant, N,N[image]-Diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPPD). DPPD reduced, but did not prevent, the ethanol-induced hepatic-triglyceride accumulation when administered orally simultaneously with ethanol. Significant inhibition of hepatic-trigly-ceride accumulation in carbon tetrachloride-treated rats, pre -treated with DPPD, was also noted. The CC14-treated group manifested fatty metamorphosis, central necrosis, polymorphonuclear cell infiltration, and a disruption of the architecture of the reticulum. These changes were markedly reduced in CCl4-treated rats which had received DPPD. Since both the ethanol- and CC14-induced fatty livers were significantly modified by antioxidant administration, it is suggestive that, to some degree, a common factor is involved in the pathogenesis of fatty livers from these agents. The possible use of antioxidants in the prevention or modification of liver injury is sug-gested.
