Forced alcoholization of rats according to Majchrowicz led to the development of fatty liver. The subsequent ethanol withdrawal was accompanied by amino acid imbalance in the pool of free sulfur-containing and glycogenic amino acids in liver and blood plasma. Similar changes were observed after prolonged alcohol intoxication. Intragastric administration of the amino acid composition containing branched-chain amino acids and taurine corrected the amino acid imbalance and reduced the development of the steatosis of the liver.
