27. Ethanol metabolism in liver is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT:
(A) decreased pH levels due to lactic acidosis,
(B) decreased NADH/NAD+ ratio in the cell,
(C) decreased gluconeogenesis activity resulting in hypoglycemia,
(D) two oxidation steps to convert ethanol to acetate, both reactions produce NADH,
(E) increased acetaldehyde-protein adducts impairing protein function.
