Metabolic surgery and intestinal gene expression: Digestive tract and diabetes evolution considerations

Figure 4 Gene expression profile of p53 in the intestinal mucosa before and after sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A: p53 mRNA expression in the duodenum; B: p53 mRNA expression in the ileum. The gray bars show data before the gastrectomy with transit bipartition, and the black bars show data 3 mo postoperatively. Data are expressed as the mean ± SE. ^aP < 0.05 vs Pre. Pre: Pre-surgery; Post: Post-surgery.
