title: Genetic and environmental influences on alcohol metabolism in humans.
abstract: This manuscript represents the proceedings of a symposium at the 2000 RSA Meeting in Denver, Colorado. The organizer/chair was Ting-Kai Li. The presentations were: (1) Introduction to the Symposium, by Ting-Kai Li; (2) ALDH2 polymorphism and alcohol metabolism, by Shih-Jiun Yin; (3) ALDH2 promoter polymorphism and alcohol metabolism, by David W. Crabb; (4) Use of BrAC clamping to estimate alcohol elimination rates: Application to studies of the influence of genetic and environmental determinants, by Sean O'Connor; and (5) Effect of food and food composition on alcohol elimination rates as determined by clamping, by Vijay A. Ramchandani.
