There were significant interactions of ethanol and ischemic stroke on IL-1β (F(5,18) = 25.71; p = 0.000005, n = 4), IL-3 (F(5,18) = 6.00; p = 0.010051, n = 4), CCL12 (F(5,18) = 30.40; p = 0.000002, n = 4), IL-1a (F(5,18) = 5.86; p = 0.010941, n = 4). The gene discussed is IL1B; the disease is ischemic stroke.
