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
Liver alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), the principal enzymes responsible for the oxidation of ethanol, are polymorphic at theADH2, ADH3 andALDH2 loci in human beings. Our previous studies have shown that, compared with nonalcoholic individuals, Chinese alcoholic patient
## Abstract The principal enzymes catalyzing the conversion of ethanol to acetate are alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). The activities of these enzymes are elevated in the serum during the course of alcoholism or cirrhosis. In previous investigations we have found eleva
