Fig. 2. Effects of scutellarin on the antioxidant enzyme activity and MDA content in the brain tissues due to acute alcohol exposure. The supernatants of cerebrum and cerebellum homogenate were used to determine the activity of antioxidant enzymes SOD and CAT, and the content of MDA. Among them, (a), (c), and (e) represent the levels of MDA, SOD, and CAT in the cerebrum, respectively, while (b), (d), and (f) represent the levels of MDA, SOD, and CAT in the cerebellum, respectively. Data were presented as mean±SD (n=6). ^* P<0.05, ^*** P<0.001, vs. the control group. ^# P<0.05, ^## P<0.01, ^### P<0.001, vs. the alcohol group. n.s.: no significance (P>0.05). SOD: superoxide dismutase; CAT: catalase; MDA: malondialdehyde; SD: standard deviation.
