Gender Differences
Females higher blood alcohol levels than males
Males have higher stomach metabolism of alcohol than females

Genetic Variation in ALDH
Acetaldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) varies in Caucasians, Blacks and Asians.
50% of Asians have inactive ALDH
Elevated acetaldehyde cause increased flushing, tachycardia (elevated heart rate), nausea, vomiting & hyperventilation.
Disulfiram – inhibits ALDH
![Page 32: An Introduction To The Health Effects of Alcohol](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f85550346895dbd3d04/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Alcoholism - Disulfiram
Alcoholism Treatment with Disulfiram
Inhibits acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)
Elevated acetaldehyde cause increased flushing, tachycardia (elevated heart rate),
nausea, vomiting & hyperventilation.

Alcoholism – Alcohol Dependence
Characterized by the following:
• Craving: A strong need, or compulsion, to drink. • Loss of control: The inability to limit one’s drinking
on any given occasion. • Physical dependence: Withdrawal symptoms, such
as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety, occur when alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking.
• Tolerance: The need to drink greater amounts of alcohol in order to “get high.”
