1 Proteins involved in nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) signaling pathway and NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome were analyzed by Western blotting.Results: Alcohol exposure dramatically upregulated ROCK2 expression and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in astrocytes. Alcohols nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
