Table 2. Relative Bcl-xl, Bak, and Bcl-xl/Bak mRNA in liver of CD and FASD (Mthfr ^+/+ ) mice at 7 dpi.

	mRNA expression
	CD	FASD
Bcl-xl	1.00 ± 0.09	1.68 ± 0.25	p<0.05
Bak	1.00 ± 0.07	1.02 ± 0.13	p>0.05
Bcl-xl/Bak	1.00 ± 0.07	1.71 ± 0.163	p<0.01

Expression of Bcl-xl, Bak, and Bcl-xl/Bak in liver of CD mice (n = 9; 3 combined experiments) and FASD mice (n = 9; 3 combined experiments) indicates that FASD murine livers had a lower apoptotic environment (higher Bcl-xl/Bak ratio) compared with that in CD mice.
