Abstract

The feasibility of a side-to-side jejunoileal anastomosis (SJA) to control type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was studied in non-obese diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats. Seventeen 14-week-old male GK rats were divided into three groups: SJA bypassing 60% of the small bowel length, sham-operated jejunoileal bypass (Sham group), and control animals. Rats were observed for 10 weeks after surgery. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were measured before and after the procedure. Animals with SJA exhibited normalization of FBG levels from the 1st and up to the 10th postoperative week when the experiment terminated. OGTT compared with sham-operated and control groups was also significantly better at 3 and 8 weeks postoperatively. A simple SJA, diverting the food and biliopancreatic secretion to the distal small bowel, was able to normalize both FBG levels and OGTT in a non-obese diabetic rat model.

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
