Core Tip

Core Tip: In this editorial, we address the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with bariatric surgery in type 2 diabetes remission. Within this perspective, we discuss gastrointestinal tract hormones, mainly peptide-1, which is a hormone secreted by gastrointestinal L cells and released immediately after food intake, as well as the benefits obtained after reversing endothelial syndrome via bariatric surgery.
