Alcohol increases systemic endotoxin and sCD14 levels in mice. A, Serum endotoxin levels were measured using LAL assay 1 week after starting 5% alcohol and B, Serum sCD14 levels were measured using sCD14 ELISA kit after 2 weeks of starting 5% alcohol. Data are presented as means and S.D. (n=5–7 in each group). *P < 0.05, **P<0.01.
