Journal ArticleDOI
Acetaldehyde and malondialdehyde react together to generate distinct protein adducts in the liver during long-term ethanol administration
TL;DR: Results indicate that acetaldehyde and MDA can react together in a synergistic manner and generate hybrid adducts (MAA‐adducts) and further suggest that MAA adduct’s may represent a major species ofAdducts formed in the liver during ethanol metabolism in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acetaldehyde adducts with proteins: binding of [14C]acetaldehyde to serum albumin.
TL;DR: Results indicate that acetaldehyde can covalently bind to protein and form unstable as well as stable adducts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde adducts in liver injury.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that during excessive ethanol consumption, ethanol oxidation and ethanol-induced oxidative stress result in the formation of acetaldehyde and malondialdehyde, respectively, which are very immunogenic and possess proinflammatory and profibrogenic properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary betaine promotes generation of hepatic S-adenosylmethionine and protects the liver from ethanol-induced fatty infiltration.
TL;DR: Betaine administration has the capacity to elevate hepatic S-adenosylmethionine and to prevent the ethanol-induced fatty liver, which is shown to alter methionine metabolism in control and ethanol-fed animals.
Journal Article
Dangerous byproducts of alcohol breakdown--focus on adducts
Dean J. Tuma,Carol A. Casey +1 more
TL;DR: Adduct formation has been shown to occur in the livers of humans and animals consuming alcohol and to start and predominate in those liver regions that show the first signs of liver damage.
