Plasma C3a in C57BL/6 wild type mice after ethanol feeding. C3a, an activation product of C3, was measured in plasma of C57BL/6 mice either allowed free access to ethanol-containing diets or pair-fed control diets as described in Methods. C3a concentration was measured by ELISA and is expressed as % of total C3a in zymosan-activated plasma of control mice. Plasma from C3-/- mice was used as a negative control in the ELISA assay; C3a was not detectable in the plasma of C3-/- mice under the conditions of this assay. Values represent means ± SEM, n=5 for pair-fed and 10 for ethanol-fed, *p<0.05 compared to pair-fed.
