Abstract

To explore the mechanism of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) in the treatment of obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 20 patients with obesity and T2DM were treated with LAGB. During the postoperative 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, the body weight changes were monitored and body mass indices (BMI) were calculated. The serum levels of leptin, GLP-1, and ghrelin were examined preoperatively and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months after LAGB using enzyme-linked-immunosorbent assay (ELISA). At the same time, the fasting serum insulin (FINS), C-peptide, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were examined by electrochemiluminescence and the level of fasting blood glucose (FBG) was tested with oxidase test. At postoperatively 12 months, all the 20 patients lost weight. The mean body weight decreased from (108 + or - 18) kg to (71 + or - 16) kg (P<0.05) and BMI decreased from 38 + or - 5 to 29 + or - 6 (P<0.05). The HOMA-IR decreased from (12.8 + or - 7.4) to (3.4 + or - 2.0) (P<0.01). The serum ghrelin level increased from (7.8 + or - 1.9) microg/L to (11.6 + or - 2.6) microg/L (P<0.01). The serum leptin level declined from (24.9 + or - 13.7) microg/L to(12.9 + or - 5.1) microg/L (P<0.01). The serum GLP-1 level increas...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Biology of GLP-1

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) plays a role in glucose metabolism, energy homeostasis, and inflammation suppression. GLP-1 receptor signaling has been shown to impact cardiovascular function. This feed focuses on the role of GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor agonists on cardiovascular biology.

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.
