Binge Drinking of Ethanol during Adolescence Induces Oxidative Damage and Morphological Changes in Salivary Glands of Female Rats

Figure 5

Effects of binge drinking (EtOH administration) during adolescence and young adulthood on the parotid and submandibular glands. The results were expressed as means ± SEM of the nitrite concentration (pM) per milligram of protein after 1 week (G1) and 4 weeks of ethanol exposure (G2) on parotid (a) and submandibular (c) glands and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration (in pM) per milligram of protein after 1 week (G1) and 4 weeks of ethanol exposure (G2) on parotid (b) and submandibular (d) glands. compared to control group (Student’s -test), compared to control group (Mann-Whitney U test), and compared to control group (Mann-Whitney U test).
