Human aldehyde dehydrogenases: their role in alcoholism.

Alcohol (Fayetteville, N.Y.) - 1 Jan 2000

Agarwal D P, Goedde H W

Abstract excerpt

This article surveys the state of our knowledge concerning the biochemical and genetic variations in aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) in humans and their role in alcohol sensitivity, alcohol drinking habits, and alcoholism. Variations in acetaldehyde metabolism via genetically determined polymorphisms in ALDH enzymes seem to play an important role in individual and racial differences in acute and chronic effects...
