CAN YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING?????

Dietary saturated fat reduces alcoholic hepatotoxicity in rats by altering fatty acid metabolism and membrane composition.

As dietary saturated fat content increased, all measures of hepatic pathology and oxidative stress were progressively reduced, including steatosis . Thus, saturated fat protected rats from alcoholic liver disease in a dose-responsive fashion.

The type of dietary fat modulates intestinal tight junction integrity, gut permeability, and hepatic toll-like receptor expression in a mouse model of alcoholic liver disease.

Dietary fat is an important cofactor in alcohol-associated liver injury. We demonstrate that USF (corn oil/linoleic acid) by itself results in dysregulation of intestinal  tight juncion integrity leading to increased gut permeability, and alcohol further exacerbates these alterations.

Seriously, this research stuff is bad for my serenity.
I think I'm going to vomit.
