Influence of Prolonged Ethanol Intake on the Levels and Turnover of Alcohol and Aldehyde Dehydrogenases and Glutathione

  • Chapter
Biological Effects of Alcohol

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 126))

Abstract

In spite of much work, especially recently, much remains to be known regarding molecular aspects of acute and particularly of chronic ethanol toxicity (1,2). Much less is known, except in extreme cases, regarding methanol toxicity. Nevertheless, it is believed that acute toxicity (other than the innebriating effects similar to those resulting from ethanol which are largely due to unclarified neural mechanisms) results from acidotic effects arising from aldehyde fromation and its oxidation to formic acid. In regard to non-lethal but equally acute detrimental effects on the eye, it has been shown (3) that formaldehyde interfers with the generation of ATP during oxidative phosphorylation, which results in loss of vision.
