代谢
醛很容易被氧化成有机酸,而这些有机酸反过来又可以作为脂肪酸氧化途径和克雷布斯循环的底物。醛的氧化由醛脱氢酶催化,这种酶在大脑、红细胞、肝脏、肾脏、心脏和胎盘中均有发现。
Aldehydes are readily oxidized to organic acids, which, in turn, can serve as substrates for fatty acid oxidation pathways and the Krebs cycle. ... Oxidation of aldehydes is catalyzed by aldehyde dehydrogenase, which has been found in the brain, erythrocytes, liver, kidney, heart, and placenta. /Aldehydes/
