Sex and age differences in gastric alcohol dehydrogenase activity in relation to abnormalities of gastric histology and Helicobacter pylori infection were determined in 63 patients (32 men and 31 women) undergoing upper endoscopy for gastrointestinal symptoms. No sex difference was found in gastric
An alcohol dehydrogenase from the halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii (HvADH2) has been engineered by rational design to broaden its substrate scope towards the conversion of a range of aromatic substrates, including flurbiprofenol, that is an intermediate of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
The single most common cause of chronic pancreatitis (CP, a serious inflammatory disease) is chronic alcohol abuse, which impairs hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, a major ethanol oxidizing enzyme). Previously, we found ~5 fold greater fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs), and injury in the pancreas of
BACKGROUND
Alcohol consumption is known to increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Whether the genotypes of alcohol-metabolizing genes (alcohol dehydrogenase [ADH1B]) are associated with the risk of AF recurrence after catheter ablation remains unclear.
RESULTS
The ADH1B genotypes of 281
BACKGROUND
Gastric alcohol dehydrogenase may contribute to the metabolism of orally ingested ethanol and decrease the bioavailability of the drug. The aims of this study were to assess the impact of Helicobacter pylori infection and its eradication on gastric alcohol dehydrogenase activity and to
The distributions of class III alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), a glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase, and class I ADH in the human brain were examined immunohistochemically. The most intense immunostaining of class III ADH was observed in the dendrites and cytoplasm of cerebellar Purkinje
Pancreatitis caused by activation of digestive zymogens in the exocrine pancreas is a serious chronic health problem in alcoholic patients. However, mechanism of alcoholic pancreatitis remains obscure due to lack of a suitable animal model. Earlier, we reported pancreatic injury and substantial
BACKGROUND
Alcoholic hepatitis is characterised by florid hepatic inflammation, liver failure, and death within 28 days in 35% of patients. We recently showed proliferative peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) responses to alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis,
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and alcoholic pancreatitis (AP) are major diseases causing high mortality and morbidity among chronic alcohol abusers. Neutral lipid accumulation (steatosis) is an early stage of ALD or AP and progresses to inflammation and other advanced stages of diseases in a subset
BACKGROUND
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a progressive inflammatory hepatopathy and an important cause of end-stage liver. The liver cells' destruction is reflected by increased activity of different enzymes in the serum. These enzymes include alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase
An autoimmune background is suspected for Doberman hepatitis (DH). It is based on the finding of mononuclear cell infiltrates in the liver, strong female bias, association to the homozygous risk factor dog leucocyte antigen (DLA) allele DRB1*00601 and aberrant major histocompatibility complex (MHC)
OBJECTIVE
Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) plays a critical role in the detoxification of the ethanol metabolite acetaldehyde. This study was designed to examine the impact of global ALDH2 overexpression on alcohol-induced hepatic steatosis.
METHODS
Wild type Friend virus B (FVB) and
While liver injury is commonly associated with excessive alcohol consumption, how liver injury affects alcohol metabolism and drinking preference remains unclear. To answer these questions, we measured the expression and activity of alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (ADH1) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2
BACKGROUND
Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with decreased alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity in the gastric mucosa. The decrease in gastric ADH activity depends on the severity of inflammation and mucosal injury. This damage can be a reason of the release of enzyme from gastric mucosa
Acute alcohol exposure suppresses cell inflammatory response. The underlying mechanism has not been fully defined. Here we report that alcohol was able to activate glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling in the absence of glucocorticoids (GCs) and upregulated glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper
