La existencia de un metabolismo cerebral del etanol es desde hace más de una década motivo de controversia, por lo que el trabajo que se presenta tiene, entre otros objetivos, realizar un balance y revisión actualizados de los aspectos más relevantes relacionados con la presencia de acetaldehído, el primer metabolito del etanol, en el cerebro. Para ello se presenta la evidencia bioquímica, conductual y genética existente sobre la presencia, localización, y función de los sistemas enzimáticos implicados en la biotransformación de etanol a acetaldehído y de la posterior transformación de este último a acetato. Los resultados expuestos conducen de forma concluyente a dos aspectos fundamentales, por una parte, la viabilidad de un metabolismo cerebral del alcohol, dado que los sistemas formados por la catalasa y la ALDH cerebrales son la maquinaria enzimática necesaria y suficiente para el oxidación de alcohol a acetaldehído, y la posterior degradación de este a acetato y, por otra, que estos sistemas enzimáticos mediarían algunas de las conductas inducidas por etanol mediante variaciones en la concentración de acetaldehído en el cerebro, lo que supone la implicación del acetaldehído en algunas de las acciones psicofarmacológicas atribuidas tradicionalmente al etanol.Citas
