Alcohol Facilitates CD1d Loading, Subsequent Activation of NKT Cells, and Reduces the Incidence of Diabetes in NOD Mice
Table 1
NOD mice with 5% ethanol v/v in the drinking water had a significantly higher number of NKT cells (CD3+CD49b+ cells) in both liver and spleen and a significantly higher concentration of IFN-γ in their 24 hour blood samples compared to NOD mice without ethanol in their drinking water.
