Figure 3 Changes in gastric inhibitory polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 levels following sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A: Area under the curve (AUC) for the plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 levels pre- and post-surgery while fasting and after ingesting a standard meal (520 kcal). Blood samples were collected 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after the meal; B: Sum of the individual AUCs of plasma gastric inhibitory polypeptide levels pre- and post-surgery while fasting and after ingesting a standard meal (520 kcal). Blood samples were collected 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after the meal. Data are expressed as the mean ± SE. ^aP < 0.05 vs Pre. Pre: Pre-surgery; Post: Post-surgery.
