title: Influence of ethanol and acetaldehyde on the activity and release of cathepsin A from liver lysosomes.
abstract: Ethanol and acetaldehyde inhibited the activity of cathepsin A. In vitro ethanol did not release cathepsin A from liver lysosomes whereas acetaldehyde of high concentration did. Intoxication of rats with ethanol and acetaldehyde evoked a transient increase of free and bound cathepsin A.
