We have measured the activity of class I and II alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzymes in the sera of patients with liver tumours, using class-specific fluorogenic naphthaldehydes as substrates. The activity of the tested isoenzymes was unchanged in primary tumours and significantly

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), which are most abundant in the liver, are the main enzymes involved in ethanol metabolism in humans. Gender-related differences in total liver ADH and ALDH activity among different animal species have been observed

Efficient hole transport materials based on novel fused methoxynaphthyl phenanthrimidazole core structure were synthesised and characterized. Their device performances in phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes were investigated. The high thermal stability in combination with the reversible oxidation process made promising

Ethanol metabolism in the pancreas occurs predominantly by way of an nonoxidative pathway to fatty acid ethyl esters but oxidative routes to acetaldehyde also may contribute to injury of pancreatic cells. Three metabolic systems are responsible for the oxidative metabolism

Both class I and class II alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activities are present in human serum. The contribution of each class can be measured using two class-specific, fluorogenic substrates, 4-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 6-methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde. The former is highly selective for class I isozymes
