Metabolic pathways involved in the oxidation of isopropanol into acetone by the intact rat

Isopropanol administered in a large (6 g/kg, orally) as well as in a lower dose (1 g/kg, I.P.) is slowly oxidized into acetone by the intact rat. Using two inhibitors, 3 amino-1,2,4-triazole and pyrazole, investigations on the hepatic enzymatic system involved in the oxidation of isopropanol show that catalase does not play an important part in this pathway, contrary to alcohol dehydrogenase which is the major enzyme responsible for this oxidation. Although isopropanol oxidation is mainly catalysed in the liver through alcohol dehydrogenase, no alteration of the hepatic extramitochondrial redox state occurs after the administration of a large as well as of a lower dose of isopropanol. From these experiments it may be concluded that alterations of the liver NAD⁺/NADH ratio, which seem to play an important part in the ethanol induced fatty liver, are not involved in the isopropanol induced one.
