Figure 2. Nicotinamide Blocks Release of Cytochrome-C from Mitochondria.

Figure 2

(A) Western blot analysis of cytochrome-c release in the cytosolic fraction 12 h after ethanol administration.

(C) Densitometric quantification of cytochrome-c release (ANOVA F 3,20 = 43.546 p < 0.0001; n = 6 each treatment group). Values are shown as mean ± SD. Bonferroni correction for multiple comparison revealed a significant difference between ethanol treatment group and all other groups. ∗ p < 0.0001.

(B and D) Nicotinamide (1mg/g) does not alter ethanol absorption or excretion. Ethanol levels in blood (B) and brain (D) were measured at different time points after 5g/kg of ethanol treatment in P7 mice. Nicotinamide was administered 2 h after ethanol exposure. No significant differences were seen between the different treatments ( n = 4 each treatment group).
