After ethanol injection similar metabolite changes were found in livers of clofibrate-treated and non-treated rats. The rate of ethanol removal from blood of clofibrate-treated rats was increased by 50%, but this was directly proportional to the increased liver size caused by clofibrate. No other difference needs to be postulated to explain the increased rate of ethanol removal from blood.
