acetaldehyde and Hypothermia, Accidental

acetaldehyde has been researched along with Hypothermia, Accidental in 3 studies

Acetaldehyde: A colorless, flammable liquid used in the manufacture of acetic acid, perfumes, and flavors. It is also an intermediate in the metabolism of alcohol. It has a general narcotic action and also causes irritation of mucous membranes. Large doses may cause death from respiratory paralysis.
acetaldehyde : The aldehyde formed from acetic acid by reduction of the carboxy group. It is the most abundant carcinogen in tobacco smoke.
aldehyde : A compound RC(=O)H, in which a carbonyl group is bonded to one hydrogen atom and to one R group.
acetyl group : A group, formally derived from acetic acid by dehydroxylation, which is fundamental to the biochemistry of all forms of life. When bound to coenzyme A, it is central to the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Acetaldehyde at doses between 100 and 300 mg/kg induced significant hypothermic effects, but of shorter duration than ethanol-induced hypothermia."3.75Acetaldehyde and the hypothermic effects of ethanol in mice. ( Closon, C; Didone, V; Quertemont, E; Tirelli, E, 2009)
" Experiment 2 tested the effects of a pretreatment with the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) inhibitor cyanamide (25 mg/kg) on ethanol- and acetaldehyde-induced hypothermia."3.75Acetaldehyde and the hypothermic effects of ethanol in mice. ( Closon, C; Didone, V; Quertemont, E; Tirelli, E, 2009)
" Finally, the experiment with 4-MP indicates that the potentiating effects of cyanamide are mediated by the peripheral accumulation of acetaldehyde, which then reaches the brain to induce a severe hypothermia."3.75Acetaldehyde and the hypothermic effects of ethanol in mice. ( Closon, C; Didone, V; Quertemont, E; Tirelli, E, 2009)
