a) Analysis of apoptotic cells depicts the occurrence of apoptosis above 1 % (v/v) ethanol concentration. b) Cell count assay confirms that there is no ethanol-induced cell proliferation at low doses as compared to control. c) SOD activity assay suggests that SOD activity increases with an increase in ethanol concentration up to 1 %, and then the activity is inhibited. Data are represented as Mean ± SE (n = 3). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 with respect to control.
