The direct oxidation of ethanol by a catalase- and alcohol dehydrogenase-free reconstituted system containing cytochrome P-4501.
The role of cytochrome P-450 in the hydroperoxide-catalyzed oxidation of alcohols by rat-liver microsomes.
TLDR
The evidence suggests that cytochrome P-450 rather than catalase is the enzyme responsible for hydroperoxide-dependent ethanol oxidation, however, when H2O2 is used in place of cumene Hydroperoxide, the microsomal ethanol oxidation closely resembles the catal enzyme system.

TLDR
Purified preparations of rat liver microsomes consist of flat discoid structures, presumably vesicles, which catalyze oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde in the absence of alcohol dehydrogenase and catalase, and the activity of the microsomal ethanol- oxidizing system was increased significantly, confirming the enzymic nature of the reaction studied.

TLDR
It is concluded that the NADPH-dependent microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system of Lieber and DeCarli is due to a hydrogen peroxide formation from NADPH and a subsequent peroxidation of ethanol by contaminating catalase.

TLDR
The data suggest that the complexes formed between cytochrome P-450 and type I compounds are more readily reduced by NADPH than is the endogenous hemoprotein.

TLDR
The existence of a microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system, especially its capacity to increase in activity adaptively after ethanol feeding, may explain various effects of ethanol, including proliferation of hepatic smooth endoplasmic reticulum, induction of other hepaticmicrosomal drug-detoxifying enzymes, and the metabolic tolerance to ethanol which develops in alcoholics.
