Table 1. Glutathione, lipid peroxides , Egr-1 content, and triglycerides in livers of mice gavaged with varying doses of ethanol.

Ethanol dose (g/kg body wt)	0	2	4	6
Glutathione (GSH) (nmoles/ mg protein)	15 ± 2^a	15 ± 4^a	18 ± 1^a	8 ± 2^b
Lipid peroxides (nmoles MDA/g liver)	321 ± 70^a	386 ± 72^a	655 ± 60^b	1359 ± 150^c
Egr-1/actin ratio	0.44 ± 0.1^a	0.39 ± 0.03^a	0.77 ± 0.12 ^ab	0.86 ± 0.07^b
Triglycerides (mg/g liver)	12 ± 1^a	14 ± 1.5^a	36 ± 8^b	38 ± 6^b

Note: Parameters were measured 12 hours after gavaging C57Bl/6 mice with the indicated doses of ethanol. Data are mean values (± SEM) from 4 to 11 mice per ethanol dose. Data with superscripts with different letters are significantly different from each other. Data with superscripts with the same letter are not significantly different from each other.
