Abstract excerpt
Genotype analysis of the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)-2 gene was performed using an improved simplified method, and effects of the genotype on the metabolism of a variety of aldehydes in different fractions of human liver cells were investigated. The effects of sex, aging, smoking, drinking alcohol, liver function, and various drugs on ALDH activity were also analyzed. Of the 39 subjects, eight were...
