Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During light-to-moderate drinking, the majority (78%) of ethanol is metabolized by the ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase) enzyme system in the liver. MEOS (microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system) and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) are not involved in ethanol metabolism. NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme involved in the ADH-mediated metabolism of ethanol.
