Summary

This study looks at how inflammation in the body might influence mood and alcohol cravings. Researchers will give a low dose of endotoxin (a substance that causes mild, temporary inflammation) or a placebo to 64 adults—half with alcohol use disorder and half without. They will measure mood, cravings, and blood markers to understand the link between inflammation and drinking behavior.
