Myocardial metabolites of ethanol.
Because of the importance of alcohol-induced heart muscle disease and the obscurity of its pathogenesis, this study was undertaken to determine whether fatty acid ethyl esters, myocardial metabolites of ethanol recently described in our laboratory to be synthesized in cell-free extracts of rabbit myocardium, accumulate in hearts of human subjects exposed to ethanol in vivo. Lipid extracts were ...
متن کاملMitochondrial dysfunction induced by fatty acid ethyl esters, myocardial metabolites of ethanol.
Mechanisms responsible for alcohol-induced heart muscle disease have been difficult to elucidate partly because of previously obscure, demonstrable cardiac metabolism of ethanol. Recently, fatty acid ethyl esters were identified in our laboratory and found to be myocardial metabolites of ethanol. In the present study, they have been shown to induce mitochondrial dysfunction. Incubation of isola...
متن کاملFrom Ethanol to Salsolinol: Role of Ethanol Metabolites in the Effects of Ethanol
In spite of the global reputation of ethanol as the psychopharmacologically active ingredient of alcoholic drinks, the neurobiological basis of the central effects of ethanol still presents some dark sides due to a number of unanswered questions related to both its precise mechanism of action and its metabolism. Accordingly, ethanol represents the interesting example of a compound whose actions...
متن کاملFatty acid ethyl esters: toxic non-oxidative metabolites of ethanol and markers of ethanol intake.
This report describes the biochemistry of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE), non-oxidative metabolites of ethanol, and their clinical significance. We review information regarding the enzymes responsible for FAEE synthesis and degradation, and the mechanisms involved with the intracellular and extracellular transport of FAEE and FAEE-mediated cytotoxicity. Also a summary of reports on the emerging...
متن کاملAlcoholic pancreatitis in rats: injury from nonoxidative metabolites of ethanol.
The mechanism by which alcohol injures the pancreas remains unknown. Recent investigations suggest a role for fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE), a nonoxidative metabolite of ethanol, in the pathogenesis of alcohol pancreatitis. In this study, we characterized ethanol-induced injury in rats and evaluated the contribution of oxidative and nonoxidative ethanol metabolites in this form of acute pancrea...
