Results of antialcohol intoxication experiment. Mice in group I, II, and III were
intragastrically administered with alcohol 30 min before medicine administration. Mice in
group IV, V, and VI were intragastrically administered with alcohol 30 min after medicine
intake. Tolerance time and maintenance time were recorded. There were ten mice in each
group. Taurine administered alone or together with Chinese traditional medicine could
significantly extend the tolerance time and shorten maintenance time after alcohol intake.
Each column and vertical bar represents the mean ± SEM. Values with asterisk are signifi-
cantly different (
P
< 0.05), values with double asterisks are very significantly different
(
P
< 0.01 ANOVA followed by the Tukey's post hoc test)

Blood concentration of alcohol. Mice in the control, 2% taurine, and T+CTM groups were
administered with water (control), 2% taurine (2% Tau), or 2% taurine coadministration with Chinese
traditional medicine (T+CTM), respectively, 30 min before alcohol intake. Blood were collected 20,
50, 90, 120 and 150 min after alcohol intake. Each column and vertical bar represents the mean ± SEM.
Values with asterisk are significantly different (
P
< 0.05), values with double asterisks are very signi-
fi cantly different (
P
< 0.01 ANOVA followed by the Tukey's post hoc test)
