the results suggest that the nad ( p ) + aldehyde dehydrogenase is involved in the oxidation of ethanol to acetyl-coa , and that when the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is repressed the nadp+-linked aldehyde dehydrogenase is operative as an alternative pathway from pyruvate to acetyl-coa : pyruvate leads to acetaldehyde leads to acetate leads to acetyl-coa .
