Hypothesis mechanism of intestinal metaplasia of the gastric mucosa in HFD-induced obese mice. In addition to JAK-STAT pathway, by PI3K-Akt-β-catenin pathway may be strongly induce pluripotent gene, leading to the onset of intestinal metaplasia. Amount of HFD causes lipotoxic milieu in the gastric epithelium, in particular, function of lysosome and mitochondria is impaired, although it remains unclear why gastric leptin is increased due to HFD feeding.
