Figure 1

Schematic diagram of the experimental protocol in SD rats. (a) After 2 weeks of acclimation, the rats received alcohol (40%, 2.5 mL/kg) and Cii by oral injection for 1 and 3 days. Cii was administered at 30 min before EtOH injection. The image shows results at 1, 7, 12, and 24 h after the EtOH challenge. (b) After 2 weeks of acclimation, the rats received alcohol (40%, 2.5 mL/kg) by oral injection for 50 days.
