ULTRASTRUCTURAL ALTERATIONS OF THE PAROTID GLANDS OF RATS (Rattus norvegicus) SUBMITTED TO EXPERIMENTAL CHRONIC ALCOHOLISM

Adult male rats (lineage Wistar) were alcoholized with ethanol diluted to 6%, after a brief adaptation period with weekly growing doses of ethanol to 2%, 4% and 6%. After a 10 and 15-month period of experiment, 4 animals of each group _ control (C) and alcoholized (A) _ were intraperitoneally anesth...
