TASK: Your task is to answer biomedical questions using the given abstract. Only output yes, no, or maybe as answer.
INPUT: ['The pathological effects of high alcohol (ethanol) consumption on gastrointestinal and hepatic systems are well recognized. However, the effects of ethanol intake on gastric and intestinal absorption and transport systems remain unclear. The present study investigates the effects of ethanol on the human peptide transporter 1 (hPepT1) which mediates the transport of di-and tripeptides as well as several orally administered peptidomimetic drugs such as beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g., penicillin), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, the anti-neoplastic agent bestatin, and prodrugs of acyclovir.', 'Xenopus oocytes were injected with hPepT1 cRNA and incubated for 3 to 10 days. Currents induced by glycyl-sarcosine (Gly-Sar), Ala-Ala (dipeptides), penicillin and enalapril measured in the presence or absence of ethanol were determined using an 8-channel 2-electrode voltage clamp system, with a membrane potential of -70 mV and 11 voltage steps of 100 milliseconds (from +50 mV to -150 mV in -20 mV increments).', 'Ethanol (200 mM) inhibited Gly-Sar and Ala-Ala currents by 42 and 30%, respectively, with IC(50)s of 184 and 371 mM, respectively. Ethanol reduced maximal transport capacity (I(max)) of hPepT1 for Gly-Sar without affecting Gly-Sar binding affinity (K(0.5) and Hill coefficient). Penicillin- and enalapril-induced currents were significantly less than those induced by dipeptides and were not inhibited by ethanol.'] Does ethanol inhibit functional activity of the human intestinal dipeptide transporter hPepT1 expressed in Xenopus oocytes?
OUTPUT:
