Application

NAD-ADH Reagent Multiple Test Vial has been used to determine the alcohol content in blood. It has also been used to detect ethanol levels in mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) catalyzes the oxidation of alcohol to acetaldehyde with the simultaneous reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH. The consequent increase in absorbance at 340 nm is directly proportional to alcohol concentration in the sample.

Other Notes

Vial contains ≥10 μmol of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and ≥800 units of yeast alchohol dehydrogenase (ADH), buffer salts, and stabilizers.

Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) is a major risk factor for cirrhosis-associated liver diseases. Studies demonstrate that alcohol increases serum bile acids in humans and rodents. AFLD has been linked to cholestasis, although the physiologic relevance of increased bile acids

The brains of fetal alcohol syndrome patients exhibit impaired neuronal migration, but little is known about the mechanisms underlying this abnormality. Here we show that Ca2+ signaling and cyclic nucleotide signaling are the central targets of alcohol action in neuronal

Prenatal alcohol exposure (AE) is associated with lasting abnormalities of sleep and motor development, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We hypothesized that AE alters development of GABAergic signaling in the hypothalamic regions important for the control of sleep and

Chronic alcohol consumption may cause neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Alcohol neurotoxicity is associated with the production of acetaldehyde and reactive oxygen species that induce oxidative DNA damage. However, the molecular mechanisms by which ethanol disturbs the DNA damage response (DDR)
