Change of alcohol dehydrogenase activity in sera after alcoholism treatment

Abstract:
Increased metabolic alcohol tolerance was found in chronic non-cirrhotic alcoholics after alcoholism treatment with disulfiram. This increased metabolic alcohol tolerance is connected with an increased activity of alcohol dehydrogenase due to the healing of hepatic tissue damage. This increase in alcohol dehydrogenase activity can help in monitoring the effectiveness of treatments for alcoholic liver disease.
