Analisi comparativa delle modificazioni bio-umorali dopo interventi chirurgici eseguiti nel ratto per il trattamento dell' obesità sperimentale

End-to-end jeiuno-ileal by-pass and truncal vagotomy without drainage are two of most common surgical technics performed in the treatment of morbid obesity. The Authors evaluated hematologic indices in lean rats and their modifications in experimentally induced obese rats, before and after the described surgical procedures. It was demonstrated that both jeiuno-ileal by-pass and truncal vagotomy were followed by a significant weight loss and a normalization of glucidic and lipidic metabolic disorders induced by experimental obesity. For these reasons the Authors conclude that truncal vagotomy should be considered an alternative procedure to jeiuno-ileal by-pass in the treatment of experimental induced obesity in rats.
