Abstract excerpt
The involvement of genetic polymorphism at the alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2) and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) loci in determining blood acetaldehyde levels and the rate of ethanol elimination after ethanol intake was investigated. Sixty-eight healthy subjects ingested 0.4 g of ethanol per kg...
