Rationale for studying the stomach. A: the intact stomach secretes proteins either into circulation or intraluminally. B: vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) results in the removal of the proteins within the greater curvature that may or may not also be expressed in the lesser curvature. C: in the newly fashioned sleeve, a new selection of proteins may have greater (or lesser) influence through luminal or circulatory release.
