Explore the biological causes and health implications of alcohol-induced facial flushing in a one-hour lecture from Stanford University. Learn about the genetic deficiency of the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) gene that affects approximately 560 million people worldwide, primarily among Asian populations. Discover why the common misconception that alcohol flushing is a sign of "good health" is incorrect, and understand the toxic effects of acetaldehyde accumulation. Gain insights from two expert speakers: Dr. Eric Gross, an anesthesiologist developing non-narcotic cardiac-safe pain therapeutics, and Dr. Che-Hong Chen, a molecular biologist and geneticist specializing in enzyme modulators of aldehyde dehydrogenase. Delve into the research behind this phenomenon and its potential health risks, while also learning about ongoing public health education efforts to raise awareness about ALDH2 deficiency and its associated risks in East Asia.
