suzukii adults and larvae surviving exposure to ethanol after 24 h were collected and assayed for the activity of ADH and ALDH using
Alcohol Dehydrogenase Activity Assay and Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Activity Colorimetric Assay Kits (Sigma-Aldrich, Munich, Germany).
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, EC 1.1.1.1) catalyzes the reversible oxidation of a wide variety of primary, secondary and cyclic alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones.
There is a common myth that many Asian people cannot handle alcohol because they lack sufficient
alcohol dehydrogenase. In truth, the problem stems from the fact that they process alcohol a bit too quickly.
Isozyme analysis: In this study, polymorphism among parental lines of two F1 hybrids Shaktiman-1 [(CML 142 x CML 150) x CML186] and Shaktiman-2 (CML 176 x CML186) with respect to the esterase (EST),
alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and acid phosphatase (ACP) was analyzed.
Excessive vitamin A toxicity in mice genetically deficient in either
alcohol dehydrogenase Adh1 or Adh3.

Alcohol dehydrogenase Cr: Creatinine HD: Hemodialysis CHDF: Continuous hemodiafiltration ICU: Intensive care unit.

Moreover, a small amount of ethanol can be oxidized to acetaldehyde by
alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) classes I and IV [52, 55] in the stomach and intestine.
When ingested, both methanol and ethylene glycol undergo an initial biochemical reaction catalyzed by
alcohol dehydrogenase (the same enzyme metabolizing ethanol), which converts the parent alcohol into formaldehyde and glycolaldehyde, respectively.
The main ethanol biotransformation reaction is catalysed by
alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and is performed in the cytoplasm, where this enzyme oxidises the ethanol producing acetaldehyde, which in turn is oxidized by the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) to acetate.
(7) Metronidazole did not have any inhibitory effect on hepatic or colonic
alcohol dehydrogenase or aldehyde dehydrogenase.
Our findings show that the expression level of ethanol producing enzyme,
alcohol dehydrogenase I (ADH1) was increased upon treatment of cells with UV radiation and screening in the presence of furfural (Table 1 and Fig.
