Background: Ethanol undergoes a first pass metabolism (FPM) in the stomach and liver. Gastric FPM of ethanol primarily depends on the activity of gastric alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). In addition, the speed of gastric emptying (GE) may modulate both gastric and hepatic FPM of ethanol.
Aims: To study the effect of modulation of GE on FPM of ethanol in the stomach and liver.
Methods: Sixteen volunteers (eight men and eight women) received ethanol (0.225 g/kg body weight) orally and intravenously, and the areas under the ethanol concentration time curves were determined to calculate FPM of ethanol. In seven of these subjects, FPM of ethanol was measured after the intravenous administration of 10 mg metoclopramide (MCP) and 20 mg N-butylscopolamine (NBS) in separate experiments to either accelerate or delay GE. GE was monitored sonographically by integration of the antral area of the stomach every five minutes for 90 minutes after oral ethanol intake. In addition, gastric biopsy specimens were taken to determine ADH activity and phenotype, as well as to evaluate gastric histology. Blood was also drawn for ADH genotyping.
Results: GE time was significantly delayed by the administration of NBS as compared with controls (p<0.0001) and as compared with the administration of MCP (p<0.0001). This was associated with a significantly enhanced FPM of ethanol with NBS compared with MCP (p = 0.0004). A significant correlation was noted between GE time and FPM of ethanol (r = 0.43, p = 0.0407). Gastric ADH activity did not significantly correlate with FPM of ethanol.
Conclusion: FPM of ethanol is strikingly modulated by the speed of GE. Delayed GE increases the time of exposure of ethanol to gastric ADH and may therefore increase gastric FPM of ethanol. In addition, hepatic FPM of ethanol may also be enhanced as the result of slower absorption of ethanol from the small intestine. Thus a knowledge of GE time is a major prerequisite for studying FPM of ethanol in humans.

Aims: Since little is known about the genetic diversity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates from the fermentation pit mud (FPM), we sought to evaluate the bacterial structure, identify the LAB isolates and investigate the genotype and genetic diversity of the LAB isolates.
Methods And Results: Using high-throughput MiSeq sequencing, we identified seven dominant bacterial genera in FPM. Lactobacillus had the highest abundance.

Chinese strong-flavor liquor (CSFL), accounting for more than 70% of both Chinese liquor production and sales, was produced by complex fermentation with pit mud. Clostridium kluyveri, an important species coexisted with other microorganisms in fermentation pit mud (FPM), could produce caproic acid, which was subsequently converted to the key CSFL flavor substance ethyl caproate. In this study, we present the first complete genome sequence of C.

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is the principal enzyme responsible for the metabolism of ethanol. Human ADH constitutes a complex family of isozymes and allozymes with striking variation in kinetic properties and tissue distribution. The liver and the gastrointestinal tract are the major sites for first-pass metabolism (FPM).
