Leptin Signaling in Intestinal Epithelium Mediates Resistance to Enteric Infection by Entamoeba histolytica
Leptin is an adipocytokine that links nutrition to immunity. Previous observation that a genetic polymorphism in the leptin receptor affected susceptibility to Entamoeba histolytica infection led to the hypothesis that leptin signaling plays a protective role during intestinal amebic infection.
