The role of bile in metabolic surgery

Mithieux Gilles

Gastric bypass surgery (GBP) promotes early benefits in energy homeostasis in obese diabetic patients, including decreased hunger and improved glucose control. A suggested mechanism associates a decrease in hepatic glucose production (HGP) with an enhanced intestinal gluconeogenesis (IGN), the latter promoting metabolic benefits in energy homeostasis. In addition, bile acids (BA) have emerged as key metabolic regulators, which might account for several anti-diabetic effects. M...
