liver > alcohol DH turns it into acetaldehyde
acetaldehyde DH turns it into acetate
acetate goes to tissues and is odidized into CO2 and water

varies with genetic mix of isoenzymes and blood concentration

leads to limited zero order kinetics metabolism

decreases effect of naturally occuring excitatory NT glutamate in the body
Term
SE acamprostate Ca
Definition
decreases plesant high associated with alcohol comsumption
Term
why is ethanol used in medicine, in conjunction with what other procedure
Definition
ethanol competes for ADH and prevents conversion of toxic substances

usually the toxic substance isnt broke down into a toxin and must be removed by hemodialysis
