IncreasedTNF-α inEtOH/EtOHGroup.Concentrationsof (A,B) interleukin-10(IL-10)and (C,D) tumornecrosis factor-α (TNF-α)weredeterminedbyELISAinboththehippocampus(A,C)and entorhinalcortex(B,D).NochangeinIL-10wasmeasuredineither thehippocampusortheentorhinal cortex,butat leasta2.7-foldincreaseinTNF-αwasmeasuredinthe(C)hippocampusintheEtOH/EtOH groupcomparedwithallothergroups.However,nochange inTNF-αwasseeninthe(D)entorhinal cortex. *p<0.05comparedtoad libitumandCon/Congroups;#p<0.05comparedtoCon/EtOH.

Animalswith BECs over 400mg/dL appear tohavean increase inTNF-α.
