Dietary protein deficiency modifies systemic and gut-associated immune responses in mice infected with Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Nematoda)
Protein deficiency may increase susceptibility to gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic infections, possibly as a result of impaired systemic and/or intestinal effector responses induced by downregulation of Th2 cytokines and/or upregulation of Th1 cytokines. To test this hypothesis, female BALB/c mice (n...
