Abstract excerpt

Influence of genetic polymorphism at the alcohol dehydrogenase2 (ADH2) and aldehyde dehydrogenase2 (ALDH2) loci on ethanol elimination and blood acetaldehyde level was studied in healthy subjects. Polymorphic regions of the ADH2 and ALDH2 genes were amplified for genomic DNA by using the techniqu...
