Blood samples were taken after euthanasia (day 61). C1: control, water via gavage and standard chow diet; C2: control, water (no gavage) and standard chow diet; AL: alcohol (40%) via gavage and standard chow diet; HF: water (no gavage) and high-fat diet (50%); HF + AL: alcohol (40%) via gavage and high-fat diet. indicates statistical differences versus C1 and C2; # indicates statistical difference versus C1, C2, AL, and HF.
