Corticosterone synergizes alcohol-induced neuroinflammation. Adult mice were fed a liquid diet with (EF) or without (PF) ethanol for four weeks. In some groups, animals were injected with corticosterone (CORT) daily. Animals in other groups were injected with the vehicle. Inflammatory responses in the hypothalamus were assessed by measuring specific mRNA for TNFα (A), IL-1β (B), IL-6 (C), MCP1 (D), CCL5 (E), BDNF (F), TrkB (G), GR (H), CRHR1 (I), and IL-10 (J). Values in graphs are mean ± SEM (n = 4). Dots in bars indicate individual values. The numbers above the bars are p-values for differences between the groups indicated by the horizontal lines, and "ns" indicates no significant difference between groups.
