Effect of EtOH on tight junction (TJ) protein expression: Western blot analysis of TJ proteins such as (a) occludin (65 kDa), (b) ZO-1 (225 kDa), and (c) claudin-5 (23 kDa) are shown in control and EtOH, EtOH + ALC, and ALC exposed mice brain microvessels. Bar graphs show that the results are expressed as the ratio of occludin or claudin-5 or ZO-1 to α-actin bands and presented as mean values (± SD; n=3). **p<0.01 statistically significant compared with control
