Plus eotaxin, another factor that wasn’t discussed at all until a few years ago, but which has shown up recently in several ME/CFS as well as FM studies, appeared to be associated with leptin. Eotaxin, a chemokine which plays a role in allergic reactions, is definitely an immune factor to keep an eye one. by Cort Johnson | Jul 22, 2016 | Fibro, Homepage, Research | 11 comments

Eotaxin (CCL11) and eotaxin-2 (CCL24) induce recruitment of eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils, and macrophages as well as features of early- and late-phase allergic reactions following cutaneous injection in human atopic and nonatopic volunteers.
