Assessment of oxidative stress-related changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in vitro after ethanol (EtOH) treatment. PBMCs were examined after treatment with several concentrations (0 [control], 6.2, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mM) over (A–D) 24 and (E–H) 72 h of exposure. (A,E) Relative fold changes in intercellular ROS expression levels compared to control. (B,F) Relative fold changes in cell viability compared to control. (C,G) Relative fold changes in NOX2 mRNA expression level compared to control. (D,H) Relative fold changes in mRNA expression levels of SOD1, SOD2, GPX, and CAT compared to control. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. (n = 3; *p < 0.05 compared to control; n.s., not significant; Student’s t-test).
