Alcohol-induced acrolein and ER stress leads to steatosis, hepatocyte apoptosis, and liver injury in mice livers. (A) Hepatic steatosis (by H&E; magnification, 40×) and Oil Red O staining; magnification, 20×). (B) Apoptosis by TUNEL staining (magnification, 20×), with quantification of apoptosis. Means ± SEM, n = 6 mice. ***P < .001 compared with control by Student t test. (C) Liver injury: serum ALT and AST. Means ± SEM, n = 6 mice. **P < .01 and ***P < .001 compared with control by the Student t test. C, control; E, alcohol.
