Relation among alcohol dehydrogenase 2 polymorphism, alcohol consumption, and levels of gamma-glutamyltransferase.

Alcohol (Fayetteville, N.Y.) - 1 Apr 2003

Loew Michael, Boeing Heiner, Stürmer Til, Brenner Hermann

Abstract excerpt

In human beings, alcohol is metabolized primarily by alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2). Whereas polymorphisms of the ALDH2 are common in Asian persons, polymorphisms of the ADH2 seem to be more important in Caucasian individuals. The aim of this study was to assess the relation among ADH2 polymorphism, alcohol consumption, and levels of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT). The...
