After different treatments, we detected alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and liver index. Then, some histopathological examination was used to observe the damage of liver tissue, glycogen, and liver cell apoptosis in mice. In addition, the expression of apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase3, heat stress protein 70 (HSP70), cytochrome cytochrome P450-2E1, NF\u03baB pathway-related proteins IkB-a, NF\u03baB-p65, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 were detected in different groups by western blotting.

In addition, the differential expression of I\u03baB\u03b1, NF\u03baB-p65, and other factors in Western blotting shows that the NF\u03baB signaling pathway plays important role in acute alcoholic
