Use the following information to answer the questions below. A patient comes into the emergency room having accidentally ingested methanol (a component in anti-freeze).The products of methanol degradation are toxic,and can lead to blindness,neurological issues,or death.However,if methanol degradation can be slowed down,the toxic by-products do not have a chance to accumulate.ADH has a higher affinity to ethanol,where it functions to oxidize ethanol into acetaldehyde with the end product of the pathway being acetic acid (vinegar). -Knowing what you know about enzyme function,what would be your suggested course of treatment?
A)Give plenty of fluids and monitor the patient. B)Give the patient acetic acid. C)Give the patient high levels of ethanol and carefully monitor. D)Keep the patient warm and rested and let it take its course. E)Induce a controlled fever.
