Secretion of Recombinant Interleukin-22 by Engineered <named-content content-type="genus-species">Lactobacillus reuteri</named-content> Reduces Fatty Liver Disease in a Mouse Model of Diet-Induced Obesity

ABSTRACT The incidence of metabolic syndrome continues to rise globally. In mice, intravenous administration of interleukin-22 (IL-22) ameliorates various disease phenotypes associated with diet-induced metabolic syndrome. In patients, oral treatment is favored over intravenous treatment, but method...
