New evidence shows that drinking alcohol is the greatest risk factor for acetaldehyde-related cancer. Heavy drinkers may be at increased risk due to exposure from multiple sources. The research team ...

DESPITE ITS VALUE as a nucleophile, the simple molecule acetaldehyde has long been considered too problematic to use in enantioselective reactions catalyzed by small molecules. Now, thanks to tweaking ...

Hungover? New research suggests you may want to reach for a can of Sprite. A study published in the September 2013 issue of Food and Function showed that chemicals in the non-caffeinated beverage can ...

Acetaldehyde is a vital chemical used in making everything from perfumes to plastics. Today, its production largely relies on ethylene, a petrochemical. But increasing environmental concerns are ...

Acetaldehyde is the first and principal metabolite of ethanol administered systemically. To its rise in blood, after administration of disulfiram, is ascribed the aversive reaction that should ...

Q: My brother says the hangover foods that people swear by don't really help. I have to disagree. When I've had too much to ...

The metabolic origin and emission by the leaves of the tropospheric trace gas acetaldehyde were examined in 4-month-old poplar trees (Populus tremula × P. alba) cultivated under controlled ...

The physiological metabolism of alcohol takes place primarily within the liver where ethanol is converted to acetaldehyde, mainly via the action of alcohol dehydrogenase. Acetaldehyde is then ...
