Treatment of ethanol-fed rats with cyanamide (ALDH2 inhibitor) elevated plasma levels of acetaldehyde and corticosterone concentrations along with upregulation of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in the paraventricular nucleus and pro-opiomelanocortin in the anterior pituitary, suggesting a role of acetaldehyde in activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.49 Furthermore, ex vivo studies revealed that incubation with acetaldehyde directly stimulated CRH release from hypothalamic explants in a dose-dependent manner.50 In the current study, we demonstrated that injection of acetaldehyde directly elevated serum corticosterone and ACTH levels in both WT and Aldh2 -/- mice with much higher levels in the latter group
