Excerpt

We read with great interest the article “Roux en Y Gastric Bypass Increases Ethanol Intake in the Rat” [1] from Jon Davis and colleagues, published online in the Obesity Surgery on February 26, 2013. This study reports an impressive data set showing increased alcohol consumption in an outbred rat strain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB), a finding that has potential important clinical implications. This study supports recent clinical investigations showing increased susceptibility to alcohol abuse following RYGB [2‐5] and corroborates our recent studies that reported increased alcohol taking and increased motivation to work for alcohol reward in dietary obese rats that received RYGB [6, 7]. …
