Abstract 1006 β-carotene reduces ethanol damage in β-cells and increases insulin sensitivity even during ethanol consumption

Alcohol is believed to harm acinar cells, pancreatic ductal epithelium, and pancreatic stellate cells. After giving ethanol and/or β-carotene to C57BL/6 (Mus musculus) mice, our goal was to look at the biochemistry and histology of their blood, as well as the morpho-quantitative features and insulin expression in the pancreas. There were six groups of C57BL/6 mice (n = 36) who were randomly included as follows: 1. Group C (control), 2. Group LA (low-dose alcohol), 3. Group MA (moderate-dose alcohol), 4.
