Abstract
From the results of physiological application, the bio-sniffers could monitor the concentration changes in breath ethanol and acetaldehyde after drinking. The ethanol and acetaldehyde concentrations in expired air from ALDH2 [â] (aldehyde dehydrogenase type 2 negative) subjects were higher than that of the ALDH2 [+] (positive) subjects. The results indicated that the lower activity of ALDH2 induced an adverse effect on ethanol metabolism, leading to ethanol and acetaldehyde remaining in the human body, even human expired air.
