The alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzyme alcohol dehydrogenase IV as a candidate marker of Helicobacter pylori infection
INTRODUCTION 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 and leads to the increase of the ADH activity in the sera of patients with H. pylori infection....
متن کاملThe alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzyme (ADH IV) as a candidate tumour marker of esophageal cancer.
OBJECTIVE Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) are present in esophageal cancer cells. Moreover the total activity of ADH as well as the activity of class IV ADH isoenzyme is significantly higher in cancer tissue than in healthy mucosa. The activity of these enzymes in cancer cells is reflected in the sera and could thus be helpful for diagnostics of esophageal cancer. ...
متن کاملGlutamate dehydrogenase as a marker of alcohol dependence.
AIMS The aim of this study was to examine glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) in the diagnostic combinations as a result of new findings. METHODS GLDH, gama-glutamyltransferase (GGT), aspartate-aminotranferase (AST), alanine-aminotransferase (ALT) and erythrocyte mean cell volume (MCV) were assessed three times in 238 alcoholics admitted to hospital: on admission, after 24 h and after 7 days. RE...
متن کاملCharacterization of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase of Helicobacter pylori. An aldehyde dismutating enzyme.
Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenases (CAD; 1.1.1.195) catalyse the reversible conversion of p-hydroxycinnamaldehydes to their corresponding alcohols, leading to the biosynthesis of lignin in plants. Outside of plants their role is less defined. The gene for cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase from Helicobacter pylori (HpCAD) was cloned in Escherichia coli and the recombinant enzyme characterized for subs...
متن کاملErythrocyte Aldehyde Dehydrogenase = a Potential Marker for Alcohol Dependence
The present study explored the utility of erythrocyte aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) as a peripheral marker in alcoholism. The ALDH levels in aocoholics, their first degree nonalcholic relative and controls were compared. ALDH was found to be significantly lower in alcoholics (3.38±1.70 mU p< 0.001) and their first degree relatives (4.04±1.55 mU p< 0.05) compared to controls (5.06±1 55mU). Low A...
