Acetate Fate
Human Nutrition / Alcohol Metabolism
"The acetate produced from the alcohol dehydrogenase system and microsomal ethanol oxidizing system is either released into circulation or retained inside the liver cells. In the liver cells, acetate is converted to acetyl CoA, where it is used to produce other molecules like CO2 or used in the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol."
