Abstract
Polymorphonuclear leukocytic (PNML) lipid content was studied in chronic alcoholic and normal control subjects. Chronic alcoholic subjects showed abnormal liver function and abnormal serum lipid profile. PMNL obtained from chronic alcoholic subjects exhibited decreased free cholesterol and phospholipid contents, with a significant increase in cholesterol to phospholipid ratio. Although, there was no change in the free fatty acids, the levels of triglycerides were significantly elevated.
