## Abstract One of the most devastating effects of ethanol exposure during development is the loss of neurons in selected brain areas. The underlying cellular/molecular mechanisms remain unclear. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in posttranslational protein processing and transport. The a
## Abstract Ethanol induces oxidative stress in cultured fetal rat cortical neurons and this is followed by apoptotic death, which can be prevented by normalization of cell content of reduced glutathione (GSH). Because astrocytes can play a central role in maintenance of neuron GSH homeostasis, the
## Abstract The present study examines the efficacy of ethanol as an antidote in methanol neurotoxicity in terms of its effect on antioxidant defense system and behavior. It was observed that acute methanol exposure (7.5 g/kg body weight) led to an increase in lipid peroxidation in various regions
