May implicate ethanol in alcoholic myopathy; hypothesis-generating and requires human tissue confirmation.
Do ethanol and acetaldehyde inhibit the ADP-modulated contractility of human muscle actomyosin?
Ethanol and acetaldehyde reversibly inhibit ADP-modulated actomyosin contractility, providing a potential mechanism for the pathogenesis of alcoholic myopathy and cardiomyopathy.
Puszkin et al. (1975) studied this question.
