Figure 1
Chronic alcohol consumption decreases plasma adiponectin, increases TNF-α, and induces liver injury. Plasma samples were collected at different stages after mice had been fed with either high-fat LC diet (dashed line) or high-fat LE diet (solid line) and then were quantified for the levels of plasma adiponectin (a), ALT (b), and TNF-α (c), as described in the text. *P < 0.05 for ethanol diet versus control diet (n = 6).
