| More Details: | Bariatric surgery procedures reduce weight and improve metabolic diseases. Here the authors investigate the effects of Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) on beta-cell function in mice using in vivo Ca2 + imaging and show that VSG increases beta-cell function and intra-islet connectivity. |
