ALDH2 DEFICIENCY INCREASES SUSCEPTIBILITY TO BINGE ALCOHOL-INDUCED GUT LEAKINESS, ENDOTOXEMIA, AND ACUTE LIVER INJURY IN MICE THROUGH THE GUT-LIVER AXIS
2022-04-24
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is the major enzyme responsible for metabolizing toxic acetaldehyde to acetate and acts as a protective or defensive protein against various disease states associated with alcohol used disorder (AUD), including alcoholic liver disease (ALD), and elevated oxidative stress. We hypothesized that Aldh2 -knockout (KO) mice are susceptible to binge alcohol-mediated liver i...
