- Abstract
The effects of CYP2E1 genotypes on the blood ethanol and acetaldehyde levels were investigated in a pair of Japanese volunteers whose ADH2, ADH3 and ALDH2 genotypes were identical but whose CYP2E1 genotypes were different. In the same way, the effects of ALDH2 and ADH2 on the ethanol elimination kinetics were also studied. The predicting 95% confidence bounds determined on regression analysis of the data suggested that after venous injection of ethanol, the blood ethanol and acetaldehyde concentrations in a volunteer normal homozygous for ALDH2 (ALDH2*1/1) were lower than in a heterozygous one (ALDH2*1/2). Also, the blood ethanol and acetaldehyde concentrations in a volunteer with the c2 and C alleles of CYP2E1 (c1/c2 and C/D) were lower than in one without the c2 and C alleles (c1/c1 and D/D). However, there were no significant differences in the blood ethanol and acetaldehyde concentrations between volunteers with ADH2*1 (ADH2*1/1) and without ADH2*1 (ADH2*1/2).
