ACETIUM® CAPSULE AND ACETIUM® LOZENGE REDUCES YOUR EXPOSURE TO CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS OF ACETALDEHYDE What is acetaldehyde?
Where is acetaldehyde derived from? Acetaldehyde in human body is derived from three principal sources: 1) by in vivo synthesis in the liver, where it is rapidly metabolized into acetic acid and water; 2) acetaldehyde also exists in the saliva, derived from cigarette smoke or produced by the microbial flora of the oral cavity and pharynx (also in non-smokers); 3) the third important source of a...
متن کاملEliminating carcinogenic acetaldehyde by cysteine from saliva during smoking.
Tobacco smoking is one of the strongest risk factors not only for lung cancer but also for cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Acetaldehyde has been shown to dissolve into the saliva during smoking and to be a local carcinogen in the human upper digestive tract. Cysteine can bind to acetaldehyde and eliminate its toxicity. We developed a tablet that releases cysteine into the oral cavi...
متن کاملProduction of xylitol by yeasts
Xylitol is a naturally occuring sugar alcohol, which is currently produced chemically on a large scale. In recent years the bioconversion of D-xylose from lignocellulosic residues into xylitol, gained an increased attention as an alternative procedure , due to its high efficiency and reduced cost of such technology. The biotechnological method of producing xylitol involves microorganisms that a...
متن کاملAcetaldehyde substoichiometrically inhibits bovine neurotubulin polymerization.
Acetaldehyde is known to form covalent adducts with tubulin and to inhibit microtubule formation. Available evidence indicates that lysine residues are prominently involved in adduct formation. Previous work has shown that lysines on tubulin can be divided into two general classes based upon their reactivity toward acetaldehyde; those of normal reactivity ("bulk" lysines) and a highly reactive ...
متن کاملAcetaldehyde Acetaldehyde Acetaldehyde
Acetaldehyde may be the injurious agent in acute alcoholic liver disease. It has been suggested that the mechanism of liver injury in this situation may be immunologically mediated. In the present study acetaldehyde has been bound to human liver plasma membranes. The activation of C3 by the acetaldehyde/membrane product was measured by immunofixation of the separated C3 components. Activation o...
