Increased invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) following ethanol feeding. A: Pparg^fl/fl and Pparg^ΔIEC mice were fed an oral control diet (n = 5 or 6) or ethanol diet (n = 5) for 8 wk. Flow cytometry of iNKT cells (based on αGalCer/CD1d-tet) in MLN. B: Pparg^ΔIEC/Kaede transgenic and Pparg^fl/fl/Kaede transgenic mice were fed an oral control diet (n = 5) or ethanol diet (n = 8) for 8 wk. Photoconversion was performed in MLN, and MLN were harvested after 48 h. Flow cytometry of photoconverted iNKT cells in MLN (left). *P < 0.05. **P < 0.01. C: Pparg^fl/fl and Pparg^ΔIEC mice were fed an oral control diet (n = 5 or 6) or ethanol diet (n = 5) for 8 wk. iNKT cells in portal vein, based on flow cytometry.
