Possible Interaction: Ethanol and Glucose

“It was concluded that the further metabolism of acetate produced from alcohol may be increased by glucose.”

“When 14 men (9 normal weight and 5 … and 50 years consumed a 50 g glucose load … ethanol over an hour, their early plasma insulin response was significantly higher and their later fall in … lower than after drinking the same amount of a starch solution (maize meal) and alcohol.”

“ Glucose and fructose significantly inhibited the metabolic alterations induced by ethanol.”

“The results indicate that both fructose and glucose effectively inhibit the metabolic disturbances induced by ethanol but they do not affect the symptoms or signs of alcohol intoxication and hangover.”

“Use of glucose plus 3 g L−1 CaCO3 resulted in the production of 57.39 ± 1.41 g L−1 ethanol under micro-aerophilic conditions.”

“The effects of sorbitol, fructose and elevated concentrations of glucose were partly inhibited by ethanol , glycerol and glucosamine.”

“ Ethanol and/or acetaldehyde has been shown to inhibit placental uptake and/or transfer of amino acids, zinc, and glucose.”

“impaired absorption of ethanol and led to lower peak blood concentrations: fructose (0.88 mg/ml), glucose (1.21 mg/ml) mixture (1.10 mg/ml) and saline control (1.57 mg/ml).”

“Even though the specific activity for phosphorylase did not directly implicate this enzyme in the ethanol-induced decrease in liver glycogen stores, the latter data regarding glucose and caffeine suggest that chronic ethanol ingestion has altererd this enzyme and that differences exist between males and females.”

“Incubation of the contents of the bypassed intestine of a dog with dextrose resulted in the production of significant amounts of ethanol.”

“Specifically, glucose content increased over twofold with increasing ethanol dose while, as TABLE 2 shows, there was decreased incorporation of the label from W-glucose into the amino acids derived via the tricarboxylic acid cycle.”
