The effect of ethanol ingestion on aldehyde dehydrogenase activity in the subcellular fractions of livers from 14 pair-fed male Sprague-Dawley rats was tested. Enzymatic assays were performed at two different concentrations of propionaldehyde (0.068 and 13.6 mM) sufficient to saturate enzymes with high and low affinities for propionaldehyde, respectively. The effect of alcohol ingestion varied depending on the subcellular fraction tested and the propionaldehyde concentration used in the assay. There was a 60% increase in the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase with high affinity for propionaldehyde in the mitochondrial membranes. Conversely there was a 50% decrease in the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenases with high affinity for propionaldehyde in the microsomal fraction. There was also a 58% decrease in the activity of enzymes from the mitochondrial matrix with low affinity for propionaldehyde. The results suggest that differences in the assay systems employed may account for the conflicting results obtained by previous investigators of the effect of ethanol feeding.
