Abstract: | A sensitive enzymic method for the determination of acetaldehyde in human blood has been developed. The method may be operated in a semiautomated or fully automated mode and involves continuous-flow distillation of samples with fluorometry. Levels of acetaldehyde between 0.5 and 20 μmol/liter in blood may be determined, using either yeast or sheep liver aldehyde dehydrogenases. |
