Fig. 9.

Hepatic expression of the ROS-eliminating enzymes in mice receiving ethanol treatment. a The mRNA levels of Cat, Sod1, Sod2, and Gpx1. The same samples in Fig. 4 were used. b Immunoblot analysis of these enzymes. The same samples in Fig. 5b (50 μg of protein) were used. Band intensities were measured densitometrically, normalized to those of actin, and then normalized to hepatic levels of mice in the vehicle group. The groups and numbers of mice were the same as Fig. 2. *P < 0.05 between the vehicle and indicated ethanol treatment groups
