Studies of a Chemical Measure of Acetaldehyde Adduct Formation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 206))

Abstract

Two of the major problems in alcohol research and treatment have been: 1) a lack of objective criteria with which to characterize the condition; and 2) the lack of a biochemical basis by which the numerous secondary sequelae of the disease can be explained. Recent studies make it feasible to address these problems using a biochemical approach since it appears that hemoglobin and other proteins combine with acetaldehyde to form a number of stable protein-acetaldehyde adducts.
