The effects of high-fat diet on alcohol-induced liver injury were assessed using an intragastric intubation model. Urine alcohol content was monitored daily. Mice were evaluated for endoplasmic reticulum stress response as well as lipid and one-carbon metabolism. There were 2 cohorts: (1) mice fed high-fat diet only; (2) mice fed high-fat diet plus alcohol.

Procedures conducted:
• metabolic panel  Alanine transaminase (serum) after 4wk regimen of ethanol vs. control, both groups on high-fat diet. 24h fast.
• alcohol quantification  Alcohol concentration in blood and urine after 4 wk regimen of ethanol vs. control, both groups on high-fat diet. 24h fast.
• organ weights  Liver weight after 4wk regimen of ethanol vs. control, both groups on high-fat diet. 24h fast.
• histopathology  Liver histopathology, injury after 4wk regimen of ethanol vs. control, both groups on high-fat diet. 24h fast.
• metabolite quantification  Homocysteine concentration after 4wk regimen of ethanol vs. control, both groups on high-fat diet. 24h fast.
• lipid profile  Hepatic triglycerides after 4wk regimen of ethanol and high-fat diet. 24h fast.
• RNA expression profiling  Liver gene expression after 4wk regimen of ethanol and high-fat diet. 24h fast. mRNA abundance relative to the control (high-fat only) group.
