 Alcohol dehydrogenase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alcohol dehydrogenases are a group of dehydrogenase enzymes that occur in many organisms and facilitate the conversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones.
Alcohol dehydrogenase is also involved in the toxicity of other types of alcohol: for instance, it oxidizes methanol to produce formaldehyde, and ethylene glycol to ultimately yield glycolic and oxalic acids.
In yeast and many bacteria, alcohol dehydrogenase plays an important part in fermentation: pyruvate resulting from glycolysis is converted to acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide, and the acetaldehyde is then reduced to ethanol by alcohol dehydrogenase.

 ry - Xanthine dehydrogenase
We conclude that the lack of xanthine dehydrogenase in these mutants leads to the absence of urate, which is the proximate cause of paraquat sensitivity.
An extra electrophoretic band of xanthine dehydrogenase was observed on polyacrylamide gel from extracts of wild-type flies cultured on certain levels of molybdenum, but its appearance was not always correlated with the increases in specific activity.
Two new mutants, deficient in aldehyde oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase, have been isolated from a wild-type stock of Drosophila melanogaster and have been provisionally termed lxd-c and lxd-d, respectively, as both mutants appear to be allelic with lxd (low xanthine dehydrogenase).

 Alcohol dehydrogenase - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Alcohol dehydrogenase also oxidizes methanol to formaldehyde, and the dangerous effects of the latter are the main reason for the toxicity of the former.
The conventional treatment of methanol poisoning involves administration of ethanol: this keeps the alcohol dehydrogenase busy with ethanol, so that the methanol can be cleared out of the system before it is converted to formaldehyde.
The version of alcohol dehydrogenase in women is less effective than that in men, which is part of the reason that women have a lower tolerance for alcohol than men.

 Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency (G6PDD) is an inherited, sex-linked, metabolic disorder characterized by an enzyme defect that leads to the breakdown of red blood cells (hemolysis) upon exposure to stresses associated with some bacterial infections or certain drugs.
A deficiency of this enzyme may result in the premature destruction of red blood cells (an acute hemolytic anemia or a chronic spherocytic type) when an affected individual is exposed to certain medications or chemicals, experiences certain viral or bacterial infections, and/or inhales the pollen of, or consumes, fava beans (favism).
Glucose- 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency is inherited as an X-linked genetic trait.

Conclusions: In conclusion the study indicates that glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is common in the central region of Saudi Arabia and a lot of patients present with haemolytic episodes.
Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is found in tropical and subtropical countries and is one of the important causes of haemolytic anaemia and neonatal jaundice
Since glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in marriage group exists, there is compelling need for introducing measures such as genetic counselling and public health education as part of the overall health and welfare services in the area.

Possession of the fast metabolizing alleles for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), ADH1B* 2 and ADH1C* 1, and the null allele for aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), ALDH2* 2, results in increased acetylaldehyde levels and is hypothesized to increase the risk of head and neck cancer.
Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) are enzymes involved in the metabolism of ethanol to acetaldehyde (1).
Subsequent conversion of acetaldehyde to acetate is catalyzed by the mitochondrial enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) (Figure 1).
