Title: | Recent advances in the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of bariatric and metabolic surgery. |
Abstract: | Bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS) is the most effective treatment for obesity, type 2 diabetes and co-morbidities, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. The beneficial effects of BMS are beyond the primary goal of gastric restriction and nutrients malabsorption. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and vertical sleeve gastrectomy are the 2 most commonly performed procedures of BMS. Both surgeries lead to physiologic changes in gastrointestinal tract; subsequently alter bile acids pool and composition, gut microbial activities, gut hormones, and circulating exosomes; and ultimately contribute to the improved glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, energy expenditure, and weight loss. The mechanisms underlying the benefits of BMS likely involve the bile acid-signaling pathway mediated mainly by nuclear farnesoid X receptor and the membrane Takeda G protein-coupled receptor, bile acids-gut microbiota interaction, and exosomes. In this review, we focus on recent advances in potential mechanisms and aim to learn novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic disorders. |

I05 | 9352 | Type 2 diabetes mellitus | A diabetes that is characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. A diabetes mellitus that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_mellitus_type_2 | disease of metabolism/inherited metabolic disorder/ carbohydrate metabolic disorder/glucose metabolism disease/diabetes/ diabetes mellitus | Details |
