title: [Mechanisms of aliphatic alcohols oxidation by enzymatic systems of the liver].
abstract: The main pathways of aliphatic alcohols oxidation in human and mammalian liver, i.e. dehydration of alcohols by cytosolic alcohol dehydrogenases and oxidation in the presence of microsomal enzymatic system, catalase and hydrogen peroxide are described. A special emphasis is laid upon the interaction of alcohols with terminal oxidase of the microsomal hydroxylating system, i.e. cytochrome P-450. The relative role of these three oxidative pathways in alcohol conversions is evaluated.
