The investigators also found that post-bypass alterations in the microbial population of mice can induce weight loss in animals that did not have surgery. Changes in gastrointestinal microbes may produce some benefits of gastric bypass Transferring microbial population into germ-free mice produced weight loss without surgery 27/Mar/2013 Changes in the population of microbial organisms in the gastrointestinal tract may underlie some of the benefits of gastric bypass...
