Influence of alcohol treatment on the clinical score and inflammatory parameters in the small intestines of conventionalized mice. Clinical score (A). The number of neutrophils that accumulated in the small intestine was measured using an MPO assay (B). Levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine CXCL-1/KC in the small intestine (C). The cytokine levels were measured by ELISA. The data represent the mean ± SEM (n = 5-7/group). ^*p < 0.05, ^**p < 0.01 and ^***p < 0.001.
