Schematic View of the Mechanistic Model Proposed by Troy et al.
Glucose produced by defined intestinal segments is secreted directly into the portal vein, where changes in blood glucose are detected by sensory fibers presumably projecting to central nervous system circuits controlling food intake, insulin secretion, and nutrient partitioning. Enhanced intestinal glucose production following bariatric surgeries that bypass duodenum and jejunum may explain some of the immediate metabolic benefits that occur after such surgeries, but not following gastric banding procedures. ANS, autonomic nervous system; EGA, entero-gastro anastomosis.
