Elevated fasting ethanol levels in peripheral blood frequently found in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASLD) patients even in the absence of alcohol consumption are discussed to contribute to disease development. To test the hypothesis that besides an enhanced gastrointestinal synthesis a diminished alcohol elimination through alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) may also be critical herein, we determined fasting ethanol levels and ADH activity in livers and blood of MASLD patients and in wild-type ± anti-TNFα antibody (infliximab) treated and TNFα-/- mice fed a MASLD-inducing diet. Blood ethanol levels were significantly higher in patients and wild-type mice with MASLD while relative ADH activity in blood and liver tissue was significantly lower compared to controls. Both alterations were significantly attenuated in MASLD diet-fed TNFα-/- mice and wild-type mice treated with infliximab. Moreover, alcohol elimination was significantly impaired in mice with MASLD. In in vitro models, TNFα but not IL-1β or IL-6 significantly decreased ADH activity. Our data suggest that elevated ethanol levels in MASLD patients are related to TNFα-dependent impairments of ADH activity. |
