What happens during the disease - toxic effect: ethanol

The toxic effect of ethanol is caused by its metabolism in the body. ethanol is metabolized in the liver by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (adh) to form acetaldehyde, which is then further metabolized to form acetate. the accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body leads to oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and disruption of normal cellular processes, leading to the toxic effects of ethanol.
