1 15318096 ALDH2/ADH2 polymorphism associated with vasculopathy and neuropathy in type 2 diabetes.
2 15318096 A mechanism of CPAF has been regarded as the inhibition of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) by an N-alkyl-substituted derivative of chlorpropamide, and the expression of these mutations of ALDH2 and alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2) could determine the alcohol tolerance among the Japanese population.
3 15318096 Therefore, we hypothesized that expression of different ALDH2 and ADH2 polymorphisms may induce differences in vascular complications in diabetes and conducted two studies.
4 15318096 To know the association of ALDH2/AHD2 polymorphism with diabetic vasculopathy and neuropathy, a total of 158 patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into four groups on the basis of ALDH2 "activity" and ADH2 "superactivity."
5 15318096 The frequency of proteinuria and the percentage of proliferative retinopathy among the patients with retinopathy was higher in those with active ALDH2 and superactive ADH2.
6 15318096 We speculated that protein kinase C isoforms up-regulated by 4-hydroxynonenal that was detoxified by ALDH2 and ADH2 may account for the long-term development of diabetic nephropathy and severe retinopathy.
7 15318096 As for neuropathy, the frequency of symptomatic neuropathy was higher in patients with inactive ALDH2 and usual ADH2.
8 15318096 We speculate that increased tissue levels of toxic aldehyde could result from inactive ALDH2 and usual ADH2 expression, which results in the increased level of reactive aldehyde in sensory neuron pathway, thereby causing symptomatic polyneuropathy.

75 16307179 The alleles of ADH2 (ADH2*1 and ADH2*2) encode more active and less active forms for ethanol metabolism, respectively.
76 16307179 We examined whether liver damage and the insulin-glucose axis vary according to ADH2 genotype in the Japanese.
77 16307179 Clinical evaluations including alcohol consumption, percentage of alcohol drinkers, plasma glucose, HbA1c, insulin, AST, ALT, gamma-GTP, and prevalence of diabetes were compared among the ADH2 genotypes.
78 16307179 While amounts of alcohol consumed and glucose levels were nearly the same between ADH*1/2 and ADH2*2/2, insulin concentrations were lower in ADH2*2/1 than in ADH2*2/2 (P < 0.05 in men).
79 16307179 This finding suggests that the ADH2*1 allele is associated with a lower insulin concentration when alcohol intake is light or moderate.
80 16307179 It also suggests that the genetic effect of ADH2*1 plays an important role in alcohol drinking behavior and in the occurrence of liver injury, but the effect is so mild that it does not influence the glucose-insulin axis or prevalence of diabetes.
