Gut Mucosal Gene Expression and Metabolic Changes After Roux‐en‐Y Gastric Bypass Surgery

Abstract

RYGB affects the transcription of a wide range of genes, indicating that the observed beneficial metabolic effects of RYGB may rely on a changed expression of several genes in the gut. RYGB-induced changes in the expression of genes encoding signaling peptides and G protein-coupled receptors may disclose new gut-derived treatment targets against obesity and diabetes.
