Figure 6

Blood ethanol concentrations 1 h after oral or intraperitoneal administration of 1.0 g/kg of ethanol (Experiment 4). Thirty minutes later, the rats received 20 mL/kg of either tomato juice with 5.0% alanine or water (control) orally. Results are expressed as mean and standard deviation (). Blood ethanol concentrations between control and tomato + alanine group were compared using the Student -test.
