Fig. 3: Acetate and acetaldehyde converted from ethanol in the liver converted to acetyl-CoA by Bacteroides spp. are used in gluconeogenesis.

(left) Pathways of ethanol to acetate (liver; red) and acetate/acetaldehyde conversion to acetyl-CoA (species of the Bacteroidetes phylum; blue). (right) Expression (color bar) and abundance (dot size) for pathways involved in the excretion or dissimilation of acetyl-CoA. The Gluconeogenesis pathway (bold) is upregulated in alcohol treatment compared to controls. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
