Abstract
BACKGROUND: We designed a novel malabsorptive procedure named as jejunal-ileal loop bipartition (JILB), in which a jejunal-ileal loop is created to reduce the effective length of food chyme passage in the small bowel, but without exclusion of any segment of the intestine. This study is to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of JILB on weight loss and glycemic control in obese diabetic mouse model. METHODS: High-fat diet-induced C57BL/6 mice with typical obese and diabetic phenotypes were randomly divided into two groups according to the surgical procedure performed, including JILB (n = 8) and sham group (n = 8). Age-matched naïve C57BL/6 mice fed with rodent chow diet were adopted as normal controls. Body weight, food intake, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting plasma insulin (FPI), and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were measured in vivo before and 2, 4, and 8 weeks after surgery. Plasma glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) was assayed before and 15 min after oral glucose challenge at the 8th week postoperatively. RESULTS: Comparing to the sham animals, JILB group consumed similar amount of food, but had lower body weight after surgery (P < 0.01). It led to significant lower FPG (p < 0.05) and improved glucose tolerance with lower FPI (p < 0.001). And GLP-1 secretion at 15 min after oral glucose challenge was higher than shams (P < 0.05). No intestinal obstruction was identified. CONCLUSIONS: JILB is potentially a metabolic and bariatric procedure that leads to effective weight loss and diabetes remission in obese diabetic subjects.
