Establishes avian model for alcoholic cardiomyopathy; leaves open translation to human disease.
Does ethanol ingestion induce congestive cardiomyopathy in domestic turkeys?
Feeding domestic turkeys 5% ethanol for 56 days induces physiological and biochemical changes characteristic of congestive cardiomyopathy, providing a useful animal model for alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
Noren et al. (1983) studied this question.
