Abstract

There is accumulating evidence that adipokines lead to a proinflammatory state, which plays crucial roles in insulin resistance and development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Previous studies demonstrated that weight loss after bariatric surgery is accompanied by a suppression of the proinflammatory state. However, the effect of bariatric surgery on adipokine expression beyond weight loss is still elusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) on glucose homeostasis and adipokine expression independently of weight loss.
