    Some Long Covid symptoms, e.g., alcohol intolerance, could be due to lowered activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase, particularly ALDH2. I submitted a related hypothesis to the Patient-Led Hypothesis Generation Panel which provides background & refs (1).

    Inhibition of aldehyde dehydrogenase causes lower sperm count & has been investigated as a means of male birth control (2).
