The enzymatic requirements for EtOH to inhibit RA biosynthesis were studied using inhibitors of the middle-chain alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH), 4-methylpyrazole (4MP), or the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductases, carbenoxolone (CBX) and chloral hydrate (CH). Late blastula stage embryos were treated with EtOH alone or in combination with 4MP (a,b), CH (c,d) or CBX (e,f). (xenbase.org)

NADH1
C2H4O(acetaldehyde) + NAD+ + H2O → C2H4O2(acetic acid) + NADH + H+ Acetaldehyde: −127.6 kJ/mol Acetic acid: −389.9 kJ/mol ΔGf2 = −389.9 kJ/mol + 127.6 kJ/mol = −262.3 kJ/mol (exergonic) ΣΔGf = −262.3 kJ/mol + 47.2 kJ/mol = −215.1 kJ/mol (exergonic, but again this does not take into consideration the reduction of NAD+.
