Proximal small intestinal bypass outperforms Roux-en-Y and jejunoileal bypass in glucose regulation in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats

Figure 4 Insulin tolerance test. A: Insulin tolerance test (ITT) at 2 weeks postoperatively; B: ITT at 6 weeks postoperatively; C: Area under the curve of ITT values. Data are presented as means ± SE. ^aP < 0.05, proximal small intestinal bypass vs sham; ^bP < 0.05, proximal small intestinal bypass vs Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and jejunoileal bypass; ^cP < 0.05, proximal small intestinal bypass and jejunoileal bypass vs sham. ITT: Insulin tolerance test; AUC-ITT: Area under the insulin tolerance test curve; PSIB: Proximal small intestinal bypass; RYGB: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; JIB: Jejunoileal bypass.
