  • This diversion limits the time that food mixes with digestive juices and reduces the number of calories that can be absorbed, leading to weight loss. (vch.ca)
  • In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are overweight or obese, antidiabetic medications that have additional actions to promote weight loss (such as glucagonlike peptide-1 [GLP-1] analogs or sodium-glucose-linked transporter-2 [SGLT-2] inhibitors) are suggested, in addition to the first-line agent for type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, metformin.

  • With this question in mind, insulin sensitivity, using euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, and insulin secretion, by the C-peptide deconvolution method after an oral glucose load, together with the circulating levels of intestinal incretins and adipocytokines, have been studied in 10 diabetic morbidly obese subjects before and shortly after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) to avoid the weight loss interference. (diabetesjournals.org)
  • These include increases in parathyroid hormone (PTH), which increases bone loss when secreted in excess, increases in PYY (a hormone that reduces bone formation), decreases in ghrelin (a hormone that typically increases bone formation), particularly after sleeve gastrectomy, and decreases in estrone (a kind of estrogen that like other estrogens prevents bone loss).
