[Synthesis of monoamine oxidase in subcellular structures in normal conditions and in alcoholism]
Abstract:
Seasonal variations of recovery of liver monoamine oxidase activity were studied in different subcellular fractions after administration of a large dose of pargyline in vivo. It was shown that the recovery of cytosolic MAO differs greatly from the membrane bound forms in the rate of reconstitution of its activity upon irreversible inhibition in vivo. Alcoholization leads to a decrease of the rate of recovery of only the membrane-bound but not a cytosolic MAO B forms in rat liver.

Ethers from Alcohols: Alcohol Dehydration and Williamson Ether Synthesis
Ethers can be prepared from organic compounds by various methods. Some of them are discussed below,
Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.
Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
