Figure 3. Gut-Brain Adjustments following Bariatric Surgery.

Figure 3

Cartoon overview of the biological adjustments in the gut-brain axis following bariatric surgery in obese subjects. In the gut, meal-induced peptides and microbiota are significantly altered following bariatric surgery. These adjustments contribute to improved glycemic control and to numerous behavioral adjustments that collectively contribute to reduced caloric intake following the surgery.
