Background
Jejunoileal bypass (JIB) can markedly ameliorate diabetes in obese patients and rodents. The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate the role of the operational manner and the retained distal small bowel length in mediating changes in glucose homeostasis after intestinal bypass surgeries in nonobese diabetic rats.
Methods
Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats underwent side-to-side jejunoileal bypass plus proximal loop ligation (SSJIBL), end-to-side jejunoileal bypass (ESJIB), proximal small bowel resection (PBR), and sham operation. Each operational manner included two subgroups, in which 30 cm (L-30) or 40 cm (L-40) distal small bowel was retained. Main outcome measures were fasting blood glucose levels (FBG), insulin sensitivity, serum insulin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), bilirubin (BIL), and total bile acids (TBA) levels.
Results
Global food intake in the sham group was higher than in the operation groups, and global body weight and food intake in the SSJIBL group were higher than in the ESJIB and PBR groups. Global body weight and food intake in L-40 group were higher than in L-30 group. The SSJIBL procedure induced better improvement in glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity than the ESJIB and PBR procedures, and L-30 group showed better antidiabetic effects than L-40 group. Serum GLP-1, BIL, and TBA levels in SSJIBL group were higher than in ESJIB and PBR groups.
Conclusions
This study shows that side-to-side jejunoileal bypass induced better glucose-lowering effects than end-to-side jejunoileal bypass and proximal small bowel resection, and intestinal bypass surgery that retained shorter distal small bowel yielded better antidiabetic effects.
