BD improves obesity and glucose tolerance. A: BD and WMS animals had reduced body weight (in grams). B: percentage of reduced body weight in BD and WMS groups, n = 10 per group. C: BD reduces epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) (weight in grams). The inset photographs represent eWAT of LFD, DIO, WMS, and BD, respectively, collected at 8 wk postsurgery. *WMS and BD vs. DIO, P < 0.001; #BD vs. WMS, P = 0.0015. D: BD reduces eWAT weight (percentage of body weight). *BD and WMS vs. DIO, P < 0.001; #BD vs. WMS, P = 0.0002. E: BD improves fat mass. Whole body fat mass was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (see materials and Methods). *BD vs. WMS, P < 0.05; ***WMS and BD vs. DIO, P < 0.001. F: IPGTT was performed at 8 wk postsurgery. *BD vs. WMS, P < 0.05; **vs. DIO, P < 0.01, n = 5 per group. G: area under the curve of IPGTT. *BD vs. WMS, P < 0.05; ***BD vs. DIO, P < 0.001, and #WMS vs. DIO, P < 0.05 (n = 5 per group). All values are presented as means ± SE.
