Summary:DNA not only stores genetic information, but it also provides important nutrients for our body. DNA is thought to improve the hepatic function during alcohol consumption. We studied the effect of consuming DNA-Na obtained from chum salmon milt on alcohol metabolism. Five healthy male subjects were given DNA-Na (500 mg) or placebo tablets 30 min before drinking beer (633 mL; alcohol content, 5%), and then alcohol, acetaldehyde and acetic acid levels in blood were measured at regular intervals (0, 1, 2, and 4 h). The results showed that DNA-Na significantly suppressed elevation of the blood acetaldehyde level, suggesting that the mechanism of DNA-Na digestion may be related to the oxidation-reduction cycle of coenzyme NAD.
