Abstract excerpt
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) plays major roles in aldehyde detoxification and in the catalysis of amino acids. ALDH2∗2, a dominant-negative transgenic expressing aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) protein, is produced by a single nucleotide polymorphism (rs671) and is involved in the development of osteoporosis and hip fracture with aging. In a previous study, transgenic mice expressing Aldh2∗2(Aldh2∗2 Tg)...
