2. Figure 1
Ileal interposition (IT) surgery. A small segment of ileum is interposed, with its vasculature and innervation intact, into the proximal small intestine. This procedure exposes the interposed ileal segment to ingested nutrients, leading to increases in plasma GLP-1, PYY, insulin, and bile acid levels. IT surgery improves glucose tolerance and decreases plasma lipids and fat content in adipose tissue, liver, and muscle.
