(a) Body weight changes of mice during 4 weeks liquid diets treatment. No significant differences were detected between ethanol and ethanol + CAR (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg/day) groups. (b) Blood ethanol concentration in different groups of mice during 4 weeks treatment. No significant effect of carvacrol and no significant interaction between ethanol and carvacrol in blood ethanol concentration. The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 6 per group). ^∗P < 0.05 and ^∗∗P < 0.01 compared to saline group.
