  • Title: Erythrocyte aldehyde dehydrogenase, plasma chlorpropamide concentrations and the chlorpropamide alcohol flush.
    Author: Hillson RM, Ting HH, Smith RF, Yajnik CS, Crabbe J, Hockaday TD.
    Journal: Diabete Metab; 1987 Feb; 13(1):23-5. PubMed ID: 3569630.
    Abstract:
    Erythrocyte aldehyde dehydrogenase activity (EALDH) was measured in 21 diabetics on long-term chlorpropamide therapy. Median EALDH was 0.362 units, range 0.108 to 0.750 units and correlated neither with previously assessed chlorpropamide alcohol flushing nor with coincident plasma or erythrocyte chlorpropamide concentration. The hypothesis that genetic or permanently acquired reduction in EALDH correlates with CPAF status was not supported. There was no concentration-related inhibition of the enzyme by prevailing plasma or erythrocyte chlorpropamide.
