Aldehído Deshidrogenasa humana en una muestra de la población costarricense / Human aldehyde dehydrogenase in a sample of the Costa Rica population

This is an electrophoretic study of ALDH isozymes in post-mortem tissue extracts. There differente electrophoretic variants of the isosyme ALDH3 were found in the 100 individuals examined. One liver sample showed lack of ALDH1 activity, but it remains unknown whether this is due to genetic mechanism. The other two isosymes - ALDH2 and ALDH4 - did not show any variations.
