The Importance of Caloric Restriction in the Early Improvements in Insulin Sensitivity After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery
James M. Isbell,Robyn A. Tamboli,Erik N. Hansen,Jabbar Saliba,Julia P. Dunn,Sharon Phillips,Pamela A. Marks-Shulman,Naji N. Abumrad +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that an improvement in insulin resistance in the 1st week after RYGB is primarily due to caloric restriction, and the enhanced incretin response after RyGB does not improve postprandial glucose homeostasis during this time.

Decreased dopamine type 2 receptor availability after bariatric surgery: preliminary findings
Julia P. Dunn,Ronald L. Cowan,Nora D. Volkow,Irene D. Feurer,Rui Li,D. Brandon Williams,Robert M. Kessler,Naji N. Abumrad +7 more
TL;DR: The decreases in DA D2 receptor availability after RYGB and VSG most likely reflect increases in extracellular dopamine levels, which may contribute to improved eating behavior following these bariatric procedures.

Perspectives in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Review of Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment
TL;DR: This review addresses screening recommendations, diagnosis, and treatment of GDM, and the need for long-term risk modification and postpartum follow-up.

Hepatic and Peripheral Insulin Sensitivity and Diabetes Remission at 1 Month After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery in Patients Randomized to Omentectomy
Julia P. Dunn,Naji N. Abumrad,Igal Breitman,Pamela A. Marks-Shulman,Charles R. Flynn,Kareem Jabbour,Irene D. Feurer,Robyn A. Tamboli +7 more
TL;DR: Improvement in HGP may influence diabetes remission early after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and Hepatic insulin sensitivity improved at 1 month after RYGB and was more pronounced in patients with diabetes.

Regulation of novelty seeking by midbrain dopamine D2/D3 signaling and ghrelin is altered in obesity
Shane W. Savage,David H. Zald,Ronald L. Cowan,Nora D. Volkow,Pamela A. Marks-Shulman,Robert M. Kessler,Naji N. Abumrad,Julia P. Dunn +7 more
TL;DR: To investigate the relationship of novelty seeking traits (NS) with midbrain dopamine receptors and acyl ghrelin levels (AG) in normal weight and obese females, the influence of obesity on the regulation of NS by DA signaling and AG was hypothesized.
