| aldehyde |
Chemicals known as acetaldehydes accumulate in your body from alcohol intake, cigarette smoking, chronic candida infections & vehicle exhaust fumes. The aldehydes inhibit co-enzyme A & thus decrease energy production. Chronic aldehyde exposure also contributes to heart disease & has damaging effects on brain function. Acetaldehyde also impairs the red blood cells delivery of oxygen to your body's cells. It also induces a deficiency of vitamin B1, B3, & pyridoxal-5-phosphate. ...

| aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) |
[EC 1.2.1.3] an enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the oxidation of various aldehydes, using NAD+ as an electron acceptor, including the oxidation of acetaldehyde to acetate in the metabolism of ethanol. Multiple isozymes exist and deficiencies of the cytosolic or mitochondrial isozymes of liver result in accumulation of acetaldehyde; such deficiencies, particularly prevalent in East Asians, manifest as facial flushing, vasodilation, and tachycardia after ethanol ingestion. Called also acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.
