Objective  To study the therapeutic effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats and explore the possible mechanism of vaspin in RYGB on T2DM.
Methods  Twenty SD rats with T2DM and 20 age- and sex-matched normal SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the random digits table:T2DM-RYGB group, T2DM-sham operation (SO) group,RYGB group,and SO group,10 rats in each group. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level,serum insulin (INS) level,vaspin level,and homeostasis model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were determined before operation and on week 4,8 after operation,respectively.At the same time,the correlation between vaspin and the indicators (FPG,INS,or HOMA-IR) was analyzed.
Results  Compared the indicators after operation with before operation,the FPG level,INS level,vaspin level,and HOMA-IR were not significantly different between the T2DM-RYGB group and T2DM-SO group (P>0.05) or between the RYGB group and SO group (P>0.05),but the FPG level,INS level,vaspin level,and HOMA-IR in the T2DM-RYGB group and T2DM-SO group were significantly higher than those in the RYGB group (P<0.05) and SO group (P<0.05),respectively. On week 4 after operation,the FPG level,INS level,vaspin level,and HOMA-IR decreased in the T2DM-RYGB group,except for the FPG level,the other indexes had no significant differences as compared with the values before operation. On week 8 after operation,the FPG level,INS level,vaspin level,and HOMA-IR further decreased in the T2DM-RYGB group,there were significant differences of these indicators between before operation and on week 8 after operation. Compared the indicators after operation with before operation,the FPG level,INS level,vaspin level,and HOMA-IR were not statistically significant (P>0.05) in the T2DM-SO group,RYGB group,or SO group. The changes in serum vaspin level correlated positively with those in INS and HOMA-IR before operaion and on week 4,8 after operaion in the T2DM-RYGB group and T2DM SO group rats (P<0.05),respectively.
Conclusions  RYGB surgery has a therapeutic effect on T2DM rats,and serum vaspin level decreases and insulin resistance is improved after RYGB surgery,which may be one of the mechanisms of the treatment for T2DM.
