Abstract

Duodenal-jejunal bypass significantly reduced serum glucose and insulin resistance in obese rats on a western diet.

  • The WD SHAM group exhibited greater obesity, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance compared to the control group.
  • Rats undergoing duodenal-jejunal bypass showed decreased serum glucose levels and improved insulin sensitivity compared to sham-operated counterparts.
  • DJB surgery normalized serum triglycerides and reduced triglyceride accumulation in the liver of the bypass group.
  • No significant differences were observed in the protein expressions of hepatic ACC and FAS across all groups.
