Core Tip

Core Tip: Our results provide focused insight into the effects of duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) on adipose tissue function and insulin resistance in diabetic male rats. Unlike previous studies that often focused on broader metabolic improvements after DJB, this study focused on adipocytes and their molecular changes. Establishing a link between growth hormone (GH), adiponectin, and insulin sensitivity by identifying alterations in the GH pathway.
