Two Sculptors of the Pancreatic Islet %D 2021 %@ 2077-0383 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10498/25841 %X Several surgical procedures are performed for the treatment of obesity. A main outcome of these procedures is the improvement of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Trying to explain this, gastrointestinal hormone levels and their effect on organs involved in carbohydrate metabolism, such as liver, gut, muscle or fat, have been studied intensively after bariatric surgery. These effects on endocrine-cell populations in the pancreas have been less well studied. We gathered the existing data on these pancreatic-cell populations after the two most common types of bariatric surgery, the sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and the roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), with the aim to explain the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these surgeries and to improve their outcome. %K sleeve gastrectomy %K roux-en-Y gastric bypass %K beta-cell %K alpha-cell %K epsilon-cell %K islet %K trans-differentiation %~ Universidad de Cádiz
