متن کاملIncreased Bile Acid Synthesis and Deconjugation after Biliopancreatic Diversion Running title: Bile acids in biliopancreatic diversion
Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) improves insulin sensitivity and decreases serum cholesterol out of proportion with weight loss. Mechanisms of these effects are unknown. One set of proposed contributors to metabolic improvements after bariatric surgeries are bile acids (BAs). We investigated the early and late effects of BPD on plasma BA levels, composition, and markers of BA synthesis in 15 pa...
