The oxidation process occurring in liver rids the bloodstream of alcohol present?

The liver metabolizes alcohol primarily through oxidation, converting it into acetaldehyde via the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. This acetaldehyde is then further oxidized to acetic acid, which is eventually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. This biochemical process helps eliminate alcohol from the bloodstream, allowing the body to recover from its effects. The liver can only process a certain amount of alcohol per hour, which is why excessive drinking can lead to intoxication and potential liver damage.

Is monosodium glutamate bad for hyperactive children?

Food that contains MSG will make a child turning and running around, In fresh0fish the security prosecutes the hyperactive child and give him GABA, but GABA can cause turning and running around everywhere. Actually, the above answer is incoherent and completely wrong! There is absolutely NO connection between the consumption of MSG and hyperactivity in children! Did you know that 97% of all of the glutamate (both free and bound) that is consumed is utilized by the intestines as an energy source?? Only 3% can make it through into the bloodstream - which is insignificant compared to the amount naturally circulating in the bloodstream that is made by the body itself. The liver is also instrumental in providing a tight control of blood glutamate levels - so there are no to very minor fluctuations after the consumption of food containing glutamate (which is, by the way, the most common amino acid!) The only time you might have problems with glutamate is if you consume it by spoonfulls on an empty stomach, or if it is applied to the body in an unnatural way, such as through intravenous or direct injection. These myths about the evils of MSG are truly frustrating to anyone knowledgeable to nutrition and real (instead of hyped) science!

Where can you get a liver?

You can find a liver in most forms of animal. However if you need a liver that's suitable for a human to use, you need a human liver.

These are usually only part of bigger training hospital's, as opposed to local hospitals). If you just want an animal liver to experiment with, try your local butcher.
