title: Inhibition by acetaldehyde of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from ox brain and ox kidney.
abstract: Low concentrations of acetaldehyde, similar to those that can occur in the brain of ethanol-treated animals, effectively inhibit the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex purified from ox brain or from ox kidney, although the precise mechanism of this inhibition remains to be defined.
