Abstract
ⶠThe glucose tolerance would be affected by chronic ethanol ingestion in both the diabetic and non-diabetic rat models. ⶠThe diabetic rats affected by chronic heavy ethanol ingestion had a low-to-normal fasting glucose level and an extremely high postprandial glucose level. ⶠBDNF concentrations were significantly decreased in the ethanol-fed diabetic group compared to control-fed non-diabetic group. ⶠChronic heavy alcohol ingestion aggravated T2DM and may possibly lower BDNF level.
