Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of ethanol metabolism in liver?
A)decreased pH levels due to lactic acidosis
B)2 oxidation steps to convert ethanol to acetate;both reactions produce NADH
C)increased acetaldehyde-protein adducts impairing protein function
D)decreased NADH/NAD⁺ ratio in the cell

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethanol metabolism in the liver increases the NADH/NAD⁺ ratio because both steps of ethanol oxidation to acetate produce NADH, thereby increasing its concentration relative to NAD⁺.
