Study: Changes in intestines lead to reversal of diabetes after RYGB surgery
Editor's Note
Changes in gene expression in intestinal tissue of patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery explain and predict blood glucose improvement and body weight loss, finds this study presented March 18 at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Chicago.
The findings are based on the first 19 patients; 32 patients will be recruited for the full study.
This is the first study to link changes in intestinal biology to clinical improvement after bariatric surgery, the authors say.
