Alterations in insulin action and contraction-mediated metabolism in myotubes derived from Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients
(5/16/2016)Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery induces various metabolic benefits in severely obese (BMI> 40 kg/m2) individuals, including improved insulin action in peripheral tissues, most notably skeletal muscle, and remission ... -
Bariatric Surgery: Risks and Rewards
(East Carolina University, 2008-11)Context: Over 23 million Americans are afflicted with severe obesity, i.e. their body mass index (in kilograms per square meter) values exceed 35. Of even greater concern is the association of the adiposity with comorbidities ... -
