Variation in gastric alcohol dehydrogenase and the risk of alcohol dependence

Abstract: StreszczenieUzależnienie od alkoholu stanowi problem zarówno medyczny, jak i społeczno-ekonomiczny. Jest zaliczane do chorób o charakterze wieloczynnikowym, czyli takich, za które odpowiadają relacje gen-gen oraz gen-środo-wisko. Wieloośrodkowe badania nad genetycznym podłożem alkoholizmu podkreślają znaczenie genów kodujących enzymy szlaku rozkładu etanolu w organizmie ludzkim, szczególnie dehydrogenazy alkoholowej (ADH) w rozwoju choroby. Z pięciu klas dehydrogenaz alkoholowych związek z uzależnieniem od alk… Show more

“…12 Although activation of ADH in the digestive system is lower than that in the liver, it nevertheless affects the bioavailability of alcohol. 13 Subsequently, acetaldehyde is decomposed to acetic acid by aldehyde dehydrogenase in the mitochondria, which is essential for proper alcohol metabolism, as it acts in the common final metabolic process of alcohol. 14 Accumulation of acetaldehyde, the primary product of alcohol metabolism, has a toxic effect on various parts of the body, leading to flush and vomiting; moreover, acetaldehyde contributes to alcohol abuse/excessive consumption behaviour.…”
