From: Exposure to Gulf war illness-related chemicals exacerbates alcohol-induced liver damage in rodents
The effects of ethanol (EtOH) binging on liver function in GWI mice vs Naïve mice. ALT (A) and AST (B) transaminases were measured in serum samples from Naïve and GWI mice when treated with EtOH vs negative control mice. (C) H&E staining of liver sections were observed for histopathology and steatosis. (D) Images of PLIN2 immunostaining in liver samples from Naïve/GWI mice that binged on EtOH vs mice that did not receive EtOH. (E) Image analysis data for PLIN2 IHC in the mice described for panel D. N = 4, p < 0.05. #, GWI vs Naïve mice. $, EtOH vs no EtOH. Scale bar, 100 µm in (C), and 50 µm in (D).
