Background
Ethanol is a major metabolic product of fermentation and is widely studied in the context of toxicology, metabolism, and biofuel production. Accurate quantification is essential for assessing metabolic rates and product yields in various research settings.
Pathways
Ethanol is metabolized primarily in the liver through the ADH pathway, leading to the production of acetaldehyde and NADH. This pathway influences the cellular redox state (NAD+/NADH ratio) and downstream lipid metabolism.
