Alcohol dehydrogenase of human and rat blood vessels. Role in ethanol metabolism.
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity has been detected in all arteries and veins examined from humans and rat. In distinct human autopsy vessels, activity values range from 0.9 +/- 0.2 to 9.9 +/- 7.7 mU/mg. Distribution of the activity in human aorta was: intima (23.5%), media (74%) and adventia (2.5%). In most of the samples the beta1 beta1 isozyme of class I ADH was the only form responsible ...
متن کاملSpecific Blood Alcohol Measurements on the Autoanalyzer by Alcohol Dehydrogenase
Introduction m a n y a c c e p t e d chemical methods for blood alcohol involve the oxidation of alcohol after a separation step1’ 2 and the subsequent determination of the excess of oxidant. On the other hand, enzymatic procedures1-4 are based on the conversion of diphosphopyridine nucleotide (DPN) to its reduced form (DPNH), catalysed by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in the presence of ethyl-al...
متن کاملOxidative inhibition of the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase promotes nitroglycerin tolerance in human blood vessels.
OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis of whether an inhibition of the nitroglycerin (GTN) bioactivating enzyme mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH-2) contributes to GTN tolerance in human blood vessels. BACKGROUND The hemodynamic effects of GTN are rapidly blunted by the development of tolerance, a phenomenon associated with increased formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Recent st...
متن کاملBlood vessels engineered from human cells.
Human vascular tissue engineering has progressed substantially over the past decade. Issues remain as to the optimum culture scaffold and cell source that should be used for arterial regeneration. In addition, limitations in replicative life span of adult human cells as compared with young animal cells have made human vascular tissue engineering more challenging. Despite these obstacles, severa...
متن کاملNAD(P)H oxidase inhibition improves endothelial function in rat and human blood vessels.
The NO/superoxide (O2-) balance is a key regulator of endothelial function. O2- levels are elevated in many forms of cardiovascular disease; therefore, decreasing O2- should improve endothelial function. To explore this hypothesis, internal mammary arteries and saphenous veins, obtained from patients undergoing coronary artery revascularization, and aortic and carotid arteries from Wistar-Kyoto...
