Nutritional factors in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease: An update

Samuel W. French, Yu-Jui Yvonne Wan

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

There is little doubt that alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a nutritional disease. It has been argued that ethanol is a direct liver toxin because of the formation of its metabolite, acetaldehyde, which forms adducts with proteins. However, the importance of acetaldehyde adducts in ALD pathogenesis is still at the theoretical level.
