Figure 4. Orally Administered Valine and Glucose Are Absorbed Faster into Circulation in VSG Than Sham Rats.

Figure 4.

(A) RNA expression of amino acid transporters in ileal mucosal scrapes from WT sham and VSG mice (n = 6).

(B and C) Body weight (B) and weekly caloric intake (C) in VSG and sham Long-Evans rats (n = 7–10).

(D–F) Total glucose response (D), circulating D-glucose-1,6-d2 (E), and luminal isotopic glucose (F) in VSG and sham Long-Evans rats (n = 7–10).

(G–I) Total circulating valine levels (G), circulating levels of L-valine-15N (H), and luminal levels of L-valine-15N (I) in VSG and sham Long-Evans rats (n = 7–10).

(J and K) Total circulating glutamine levels (J) and (Circulating levels of glutamine-15N (K) in VSG and sham Long-Evans rats (n = 7–10).

(L) Fecal matter was collected from the period of 185–191 days post-surgery for energy quantification using bom-calorimetry (n = 7–10) in VSG and sham Long-Evans rats (n = 7–10). Data are shown as means ± SEM. *p < 0.05; (Student’s two-tailed t test).
