Brain glucose uptake is associated with endogenous glucose production in obese patients before and after bariatric surgery and predicts metabolic outcome at follow‐up

Aims To investigate further the finding that insulin enhances brain glucose uptake (BGU) in obese but not in lean people by combining BGU with measures of endogenous glucose production (EGP), and to explore the associations between insulin‐stimulated BGU and peripheral markers, such as metabolites and inflammatory markers. Materials and methods A total of 20 morbidly obese individuals and 12 lean controls were recruited from the larger...
