Schematic depiction of the NIAAA model. Ethanol or isocaloric maltose dextrin (control) liquid diet is fed ad libitum for 10 days. Mice are subsequently administered a bolus gavage of ethanol or isocaloric maltose-dextrin. Liver injury caused by ethanol diet or ethanol gavage alone is relatively minor and consists predominantly of steatosis. The combination of ethanol diet and ethanol gavage synergistically damages the liver, with active steatohepatitis. See Bertola et al. for methodological details.
