The oral disposition index calculated from a meal tolerance test is a crucial indicator for evaluating differential normalization of postprandial glucose and triglyceride excursions in morbidly obese patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

In conclusion, the glucose tolerance curve measured by the MTT was not normalized in T2DM patients, which was associated with impaired normalization of the DI values in those patients 1-year after the LSG. However, the baseline TG and a fat-induced 2h-TG values were normalized postoperatively. The MTT can be used to assess normalization in postprandial glucose and TG excursions after LSG.PMID:37853621 | DOI:10.1507/endocrj.EJ23-0241
