They can be found in Alcohol [1]. • Ethanol is Alcohol that is used in manufacturing beer. In our body there is an enzyme called Cytosol which is responses to metabolize Ethanol. It concentrates in the liver. • While lacking of NAD in cells, the rate of NADH rapidly increases causing weight gain, fatty liver and heart attack!
