Question

Karl has been told that his family produces low levels of the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH).Consequently,we would expect Karl to react to consuming his first alcohol​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Low levels of ALDH result in the buildup of toxic acetaldehyde in the body when alcohol is consumed, leading to negative symptoms such as flushing and a rapid heartbeat. Alcohol consumption is not directly related to nicotine response. Becoming an alcoholic quickly or experiencing hallucinations are not necessarily linked to ALDH levels.
