Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy inhibits 11βHSD1 and subsequently reduces IL6 secretion in Mice and Humans: A Shared Anti-Inflammatory Mechanism

Shiyi Liang, Suhanya Samarasinghe, Brett Johnson…·Elina Akalestou

This study shows that vertical sleeve gastrectomy reduces 11βHSD1 and IL6 in mice and humans, linking glucocorticoid metabolism to improved glucose homeostasis and reduced inflammation.
