[Euglycemizing effect of partial jejuno-ileal resection in rats treated with streptozotocin].
Resection of about 50% of the small intestine was performed in rats diabetised with streptozotocin. The first results show that this operation leads to normalisation of sugar metabolism that is partly referable to partial malabsorption, but above all to loss of weight. Current knowledge with regard to the relation between diabetes and obesity is discussed and an account is given of the modern surgical approaches to the treatment of major obesity. Lastly, the suggestion is made that limited digestive bypass may be indicated in cases of insulin-independent diabetes where weight loss and control of blood sugar cannot readily be achieved by conventional medical management.
