Leucine increases mucin 2 and occludin production in LS174T cells partially via PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway

Leucine increases mucin 2 and occludin production in LS174T cells partially via PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway

Mucin 2 and occludin play a crucial role in preserving the intestinal mucosal integrity. However, the role for leucine mediating intestinal mucin 2 and occludin expression has little been investigated. The current study was conducted to test the hypothesis that leucine treatment could increase mucin...
