Abstract

Our report is the first to show that an acute ingestion (6 h) of a relatively large, yet tolerable dose of alcohol (120-160 g), significantly increases activity of total serum beta-hexosaminidase (total beta-HEX), beta-HEX A and beta-HEX B isoenzymes, as well as salivary total beta-HEX and urinary beta-HEX A, in eight infrequent binge drinkers. An increase in the activity of serum and urinary total HEX is mainly due to its secretory isoenzyme beta-HEX A.
