FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: specified acid strengthens an alcohol metabolism and by that prevents adverse consequences from the alcohol use. D-glyceric acid enter simultaneously with alcohol to accelerate elimination of alcohol from an organism. The D-glyceric acid turns in D-glyceride and then to Glycerinum in reactions, catalysed by NADH-aldehyde dehydrogenase complexes which are produced much during ethanol oxidation in the cells of alcohol-metabolising tissues. In these reactions NADH-complexes become NADH-aldehyde dehydrogenased and NADH-alcohol dehydrogenased. These complexes in turn accelerate oxidation of ethanol which occurs in parallel due to intensifying of oxidation of an acetaldehyde to metabolically harmless acetic acid.
EFFECT: increase of alcohol metabolism.
