Ideas in this flowchart

  • Fate and metabolic utilization of acetate produced from ethanol oxidation
  • Acetate is produced by the alcohol dehydrogenase system and the microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system.
  • What happens to the acetate?
  • Acetate is released into the circulation.
  • Acetate is retained inside the liver cells.
  • Inside liver cells, acetate is converted to acetyl CoA.
  • Acetyl CoA is used to produce carbon dioxide (CO2).
  • Acetyl CoA is used in the synthesis of fatty acids.
  • Acetyl CoA is used in the synthesis of cholesterol.

"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."
