In the combined ‘cell projection morphogenesis-neurite development’ category (Table 2), there were 21 individual genes, of which 18 had higher expression in the ethanol than water group. In the ‘cytoskeletal organization and biogenesis’ group, there were 24 genes, of which 17 had higher expression in the ethanol than water group. There were 12 genes (10 genes with higher expression in the ethanol group) within the ‘second-messenger-mediated signaling’ category, and 15 genes (9 genes with higher expression in the ethanol group) within the combined ‘regulation of protein kinase activity-MAPKKK cascade’ grouping, with only two genes (Dgkg, F2r) in common between these two categories. The ‘enzyme-linked receptor protein signaling pathway’ category had 16 genes significantly different between the ethanol and water groups, of which 12 genes were higher in the ethanol than water group (Table 2). In the combined category of ‘positive regulation of nucleic acid metabolism-DNA-dependent transcription’ category, 15 of the 16 genes had higher expression in the ethanol compared to the water group (Table 2). The ‘potassium ion transport’ category had 6 genes with higher and 5 genes with lower expression levels in the ethanol group.
