Histological features were confirmed by real‐time PCR analyses, showing alcohol‐induced upregulation of the chemokines MCP‐1/CCL‐2 and CXCL1 (Figure 1B), along with the cytokine TNF‐α (Figure 1C), implicated in hepatic inflammation [26], and of PPARγ (Figure 1C) that promotes both hepatic inflammation and steatosis [27]. Here, TNF is linked to steatosis.
