H. polygyrus infection influences gene expression of key enzymes/mediators of lipid metabolism. H. polygyrus infection results in decreased gene expression of leptin enzymes compared with normal mice in gonadal fat tissues: (a) leptin; (b) C/EBPα; and (c) PPARγ. (n = 5–6; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; two-tailed Student’s t-test).
