Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is an important enzyme involved in reactive aldehydes detoxification processes. About 40% of Asian population carry a mutation in the ALDH2 gene, which can reduce ALDH2 enzyme activity, thereby affecting reactive aldehydes detoxification. Recent evidence indicate that aldehydes from lipid peroxidation can impair satellite cell activation, which are myogeni…
