Paper Summary

Gastric bypass surgery was studied in rats to see how it helps treat type 2 diabetes. Rats that had the surgery showed lower blood sugar levels and higher levels of a hormone called GLP-1 compared to rats in other groups. This suggests that gastric bypass surgery can improve diabetes by changing hormone levels in the body.
