+  In the oxidation mechanism, ADH is momentarily associated with nicontinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), which functions as a cosubstrate. The reaction is shown below: CH3CH2OH + NAD+ → CH3COH (acetaldehyde) + NADH + H+ (Note: The reaction is actually reversible although the arrow does not show it) (citation needed)
-CH3CH2OH + NAD+ → CH3COH (acetaldehyde) + NADH + H+ (Note: The reaction is actually reversible although the arrow does not show it) (citation needed)
 The alcohol dehydrogenase reaction is a bisubstrate reaction, where ADH catalyzed the transfer of a hydride ion from ethanol to NAD+. In metabolic reactions within the human liver, glyceraldehyde is reduced to glycerol through a mechanism in which NADH is reduced to NAD+, and this whole process is catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase.
