Coadministration of quetiapine had no effect on the ethanol-induced oxidative stress in the liver.

Notes: (A) Quetiapine had no effect on the ethanol-induced increase in MDA; (B) Quetiapine had no effect on the ethanol-induced increase in ROS; (C) Quetiapine prevented the ethanol-induced decrease in GPx; (D) Quetiapine had no effect on the ethanol-induced decrease in TAC. Rats were killed by decapitation. Their livers were quickly removed and processed for biochemical analyses. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 (compared to CNT); #P<0.05 (QUE + ETH versus ETH).

Abbreviations: CNT, controls; ETH, ethanol; FI, fluorescence intensity; GPx, glutathione peroxidase; MDA, malondialdehyde; QUE, quetiapine; QUE + ETH, quetiapine plus ethanol; ROS, reactive oxygen species; SEM, standard error of mean; TAC, total antioxidant capacity.
