It has been suggested that acetaldehyde has a biphasic effect on voluntary alcohol consumption. At low brain concentration, it might exert reinforcing effects, whereas high acetaldehyde levels would be predominantly aversive. ...

We have previously found the existence of a relation between activity of the brain mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) and consumption of ethanol in rats of the low-alcohol-drinking (UChA) and the high-alcohol-drinking ...

We report that incubation of acetaldehyde with bovine serum albumin results in the generation of acetate in a reaction that is directly proportional to the levels of albumin and exponentially dependent on the concentration ...

Acetaldehyde (AcH) levels in blood samples taken from different zones of the vascular system 2 h after a p.o. dose of ethanol (2.76 g/kg) were studied in UChA (low ethanol consumer) and UChB (high ethanol consumer) rats ...

Ethanol is metabolized into acetaldehyde mainly by the action of alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver, while mainly by the action of catalase in the brain. Aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 metabolizes acetaldehyde into acetate in ...

The present work is concerned with the formaldehyde and acetaldehyde content in the gas-phase and their concentrations correlation, with the vehicular fleet, at several sites in Salvador, BA, Brazil. The samples were ...

Previous studies reported the presence in rat mammary tissue of a cytosolic xanthine oxidoreductase pathway for the metabolism of alcohol to acetaldehyde and hydroxyl radicals and to the microsomal biotransformation of ...
