Gastric bypass surgery mechanism behind diabetes

Recently, Lund University research team has clarified why gastric bypass surgery often can quickly relieve the symptoms of diabetes. 85% of type 2 diabetic patients underwent gastric bypass surgery within a few days will be able to recover from the disease, blood glucose levels return to normal.
Previous studies of the samples underwent gastric bypass surgery patients before and after treatment were analyzed, but the result is often incorrect. Because they may not recognize the effect caused by the fact that the surgery itself, but that weight loss and reduced food intake and other factors.
Lund University Diabetes Center, said Nils Wierup in gastric bypass surgery, the food in the stomach and bypasses most of the stomach and duodenum. Only a small portion of the Human C-Peptide ELISA Kit http://www.cusabio.com/ELISA_Kit-72512/ is directly connected to the upper portion of the small intestine. In some cases, the surgeon inserts a catheter into the stomach no longer in contact with food. This gives researchers the opportunity to study the exact difference between before and after surgery in patients with food intake.

Experimenter participate were given a certain amount of nutritional drinks, before intake, and within a very short period of time after the interval blood samples. The results when the patient nutritional drink after drink, blood insulin levels rose by nearly five times. Rose sharply in the control of blood glucose levels play a significant role in the intestinal hormones, and certain amino acids.

There are also significant changes in blood lipid levels, roughly halved. Nils Wierup, we believe these changes are why gastric bypass surgery can cure type 2 diabetes answer. We also see some gut hormones involved in herein, there may be hundreds or more complex involving in vivo glucose metabolism.
Surgeon Jan Hedenbro added: If we can find the mechanism behind this, in the long run, some pills instead of surgery will be able to achieve the same result, to help relieve the symptoms of diabetes.
