This article represents the proceedings of a workshop at the 2000 ISBRA Meeting in Yokohama, Japan. The chairs were Carol C. Cunningham and Victor R. Preedy. The presentations were (1) Ribosomal content, ribosomal localization and the levels of ribosomal protein mRNA and rRNA in rat skeletal muscle exposed to ethanol, by Alistair G. Paice, John E. Hesketh, Timothy J. Peters, and Victor R. Preedy; (2) Altered hepatic mitochondrial ribosome structure after chronic ethanol administration, by Vinood B. Patel and Carol C. Cunningham; (3) Clinical aspects of hepatic protein metabolism and alcohol, by Elena Volpi; and (4) Effects of oral intake of alanine plus glutamine on ethanol metabolism and ethanol‐related depression in motor activity, by Kazunori Mawatari, H. Masaki, M. Mori, and Kunio Torii.
