Fig. 5From: Reduced gut microbiome protects from alcohol-induced neuroinflammation and alters intestinal and brain inflammasome expressionAlcohol-induced small intestinal inflammation is reduced with gut bacterial load reduction. a Expression of proinflammatory cytokines Tnfα, Mcp1, Hmgb1, Il-17, and Il-23 was measured from the small intestine of pair-fed (PF) or alcohol-fed (EtOH) mice with or without daily antibiotic treatment (Abx). b Expression of inflammasome components Nlrp3, Asc, and Casp1 as well as the cytokines Il-1β and Il-18 were measured by qPCR. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 5–10 mice/group. *p < 0.05Back to article page
