16540368 Gyamfi MA, Wan YJ: The effect of ethanol, ethanol metabolizing enzyme inhibitors, and Vitamin E on regulating glutathione, glutathione S-transferase, and S-adenosylmethionine in mouse primary hepatocyte. Hepatol Res. 2006 May;35(1):53-61. Epub 2006 Mar 15.

Lipid peroxidation (LPO), assessed by the thiobarbituric acid assay, increased to 221% of control by ethanol and was potentiated by cyanamide, an aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor.
Retinoid X receptor alpha-deficient (RXRalpha KO) mice, which are more susceptible to ethanol-induced liver toxicity, have decreased pi-class GST (56%), mu-class GST (28%), and glutathione peroxidase (35%) activities compared with wild type.
