Two types of factors can theoretically modulate alcohol metabolism toward increased acetaldehyde production. These factors are the following: (a) individual, genetically determined isoenzymes with distinct catalytic properties, and (b) modifications of enzyme activity induced by alcohol itself or li

## Abstract In our previous study, we found that polymorphisms of alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenase (__ADH1B__ and __ALDH2__) are important risks for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in a Taiwanese population. In this study, we increased the sample size to investigate the modifying effect of lif
## Abstract Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), which are most abundant in the liver, are the main enzymes involved in ethanol metabolism in humans. Genderβrelated differences in total liver ADH and ALDH activity among different animal species have been observed in many s
was measured and compared with that of patients with nonalcoholic liver disease to clarify the relationship between changes in ALDH, especially its isozyme activity, and alcoholic liver disease.
