Investigating the epigenetic modulating potential of gallic acid during ethanol-induced toxicity: In silico and in vitro approaches

Key Points

• Gallic acid significantly decreases ethanol-induced oxidative stress in cell cultures, enhancing cellular viability.
• The study observed a reduction in key biomarkers linked to ethanol toxicity following gallic acid treatment over a specific duration.
• Assessment using in vitro methods demonstrated that gallic acid modulates epigenetic factors impacted by ethanol exposure.
• These findings indicate potential therapeutic applications but require further exploration of epigenetic mechanisms.
