  <name>Methylimidazole acetaldehyde</name>
  <description>Methyimidazole acetaldehyde is a metabolite of histamine. The metabolites of ethanol and acetaldehyde can successfully compete with methylimidazole acetaldehyde, since the alcohol and histamine metabolic pathways in the body have two enzymes in common, aldehyde dehydrogenase and aldehyde oxidase.
