Protective effect of some vitamins against the toxic action of ethanol on liver regeneration induced by partial hepatectomy in rats

Figure 1 Effect of vitamins on specific activities of serum alanine and aspartate aminotransferase (A and B) during liver regeneration and ethanol intoxication. Values are means ± SE (n = 8-10); ^aP < 0.05 vs the sham group (sham); ^cP < 0.05 vs the hepatectomized group (PH); ^eP < 0.05 vs hepatectomized + ethanol group (PH + Ethanol). VA: Vitamin A; VC: Vitamin C; VE: Vitamin E.

Figure 2 Effect of vitamins in both hepatic (A) and serum (B) lipid peroxidation (TBARS content) during liver regeneration and ethanol intoxication. Values are means ± SE (n = 8-10); ^aP < 0.05 vs the sham group (sham); ^cP < 0.05 vs the hepatectomized group (PH); ^eP < 0.05 vs hepatectomized + ethanol group (PH + Ethanol). VA: Vitamin A; VC: Vitamin C; VE: Vitamin E.
