Abstract

The liver is the chief organ concerned with the oxidation of ethanol (7). After alcohol passes from the blood into the liver cell it is first oxidized to acetaldehyde. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, which contains zinc; it is mainly located in the liver cytoplasm (11). Nicotin-amide adenine dinucleotide, NAD, functions as the coenzyme and hydrogen acceptor (Fig. 1).
