Journal ArticleDOI
Who would have thought it? An operation proves to be the most effective therapy for adult-onset diabetes mellitus.
Walter J. Pories,Melvin Swanson,Kenneth G. MacDonald,Stuart B. Long,Patricia G. Morris,Brenda M. Brown,Hisham A. Barakat,Richard A. deRamon,Jeanette M. Dolezal,G. Lynis Dohm +9 more
TL;DR: The gastric bypass operation provides long-term control of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and antidiabetic effects appear to be due primarily to a reduction in caloric intake, suggesting that insulin resistance is a secondary protective effect rather than the initial lesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
The gastric bypass operation reduces the progression and mortality of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus☆
Kenneth G. MacDonald,Stuart D Long,Melvin Swanson,Brenda M. Brown,Patricia G. Morris,G. Lynis Dohm,Walter J. Pories +6 more
TL;DR: Of 232 morbidly obese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus referred to East Carolina University between March 5, 1979, and January 1, 1994, 154 had a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass operation and 78 did not undergo surgery because of personal preference or their insurance company's refusal to pay for the procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypoxia Stimulates Glucose Transport in Insulin-Resistant Human Skeletal Muscle
TL;DR: It is suggested that the glucose transport effector system is intact in diabetic human muscle when stimulated by hypoxia, and insulin significantly stimulated glucose transport in lean, obese, and diabetic muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Okadaic Acid, Vanadate, and Phenylarsine Oxide Stimulate 2-Deoxyglucose Transport in Insulin-Resistant Human Skeletal Muscle
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that although vanadate is able to stimulate glucose transport in insulin-resistant muscle, it is not able to normalize transport to the same rate achieved in diabetes-sensitive muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Workup for Bariatric Surgery Does Not Require a Routine Upper Gastrointestinal Series
Andrew J. Ghassemian,Kenneth G. MacDonald,Paul G. Cunningham,Melvin Swanson,Brenda M. Brown,Patricia G. Morris,Walter J. Pories +6 more
TL;DR: The upper GI series can be safely omitted from the routine preoperative evaluation of patients undergoing gastric bypass, at a cost of $741.00 per examination, which represents significant potential savings.
