Possible Interaction: Ethanol and Nitrogen

“Urinary excretion of nitrogen was significantly greater during wine and ethanol administration than during feeding of the other test beverages.”

“ Ethanol generally increased the urinary excretion of nitrogen but interactions between the effects of the three substances were observed.”

“ Ethanol appears to interfere with these mechanisms and to divert some of the nitrogen from the carbamoylphosphate synthetase reaction to the formation of aspartate.”

“It is found that injection of ethanol significantly reduced the harmful emissions like smoke and oxides of nitrogen at the price of increased hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions.”

“ Alcohol monomers and trimers are significantly more resistant to nitrogen coating due to a lack of cooperativity and dangling bonds, respectively.”

“The addition of more than 12% (v/v) of ethanol significantly reduced dry weight, total soluble nitrogen content and amino acids nitrogen content.”

“Adding ethanol plus mixing greatly improved the removal performance, with the removal rate of NO3(-)-N and TN reaching 15.0-16.5 g m(-2) d(-1).”

“By comparing the two timings of nitrogen … phase (72 h), it was shown that nitrogen … ethanol and acetic acid formation and significantly increases the following compounds: 2-phenylethanol, ethyl isobutyrate, 2-phenylethyl acetate, … three strains, and also isovaleric acid, isoamyl alcohol and ethyl isovalerate in both PYCC4072 and UCD522.”

“ Nitrogen sources exert a significant influence on the content of essential amino acids in the alcohol soluble fraction of cell biomass.”

“Summary The oxidation of ethanol as catalyzed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (alcohol: NAD + oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.1) is inhibited by a variety of nitrogen bases.”
