Chronic Ethanol Feeding and Acute Ethanol Exposure in Vitro: Effect on Intestinal Transport of Biotin

Chronic ethanol exposure impairs biotin transport in the intestines, lowering plasma biotin levels, with acetaldehyde, an ethanol metabolite, contributing to the inhibition. In rats, the impact worsened at physiological ethanol concentrations. This suggests alcohol consumption may contribute to biotin deficiency, impacting nutritional status and health. The study, conducted with ethanol-fed
