acetaldehyde dehydrogenase ( aldh ) activity in liver biopsy specimens was considerably reduced in alcoholic cirrhosis ( n = 5 ) , elevated in alcoholic fatty liver ( n = 11 ) -- probably due to enzyme induction -- only slightly elevated in alcoholic hepatitis ( n = 6 ) , but unaffected in non-alcoholic liver diseases ( n = 23 ) in comparison with specimens obtained from patients with minimal liver lesions .
