Separate groups of rats were also pretreated with 4-methylpyrazole (4-MP; alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor), cyanamide (inhibitor of acetaldehyde metabolism), RU486 (glucocorticoid receptor antagonist) or the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist (TNF (BP)) prior to EtOH administration.

This study was designed to clarify the role of acetaldehyde in liver injury, specifically in vivo and in vitro effects on Kupffer cell release of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-Alpha).
Similarly, isolated rat Kupffer cells were pretreated with disulfiram or cyanamide incubated in ethanol (1 h), then challenged with LPS and evaluated 2 h later for TNF-Alpha and acetaldehyde levels in the culture medium.
