The helminth glycoprotein omega-1 improves metabolic homeostasis in obese mice through type-2 immunity-independent inhibition of food intake
2020-07-03
Abstract excerpt
Type 2 immunity plays an essential role in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis and its disruption during obesity promotes meta-inflammation and insulin resistance. Infection with the helminth parasite Schistosoma mansoni and treatment with its soluble egg antigens (SEA) can induce a type 2 immune response in metabolic organs and improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in obese mice, yet a causal re...
