Effects of AXT on ethanol-induced oxidative stress in chronic-binge ethanol induced alcoholic liver injury in mice. (A) The expression of iNOS and CYP2E1 were determined in the total protein extracts of mice liver tissues by Western blotting. (B) Immunohistochemical analysis of iNOS confirmed in the pair-fed mice, ethanol-fed mice and ethanol-fed with AXT mice (scale bars, 100 μm). (C) NO, (D) TBARS levels, (E) total GSH level and GSH/GSSG ratio and (F) hydrogen peroxide level were measured in the pair-fed mice, ethanol-fed mice and ethanol-fed with AXT mice. n = 8 per group; means ± SD of the mean. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 and ###p < 0.001 pair-fed vs. ethanol-fed, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 ethanol-fed vs. ethanol-fed with AXT.
