INTRODUCTION: Bariatric surgery (CB) is the only treatment option that has proved capable of solving the DM2. In addition to the impact on weight and comorbidities, the CB has shown a great impact on adipose tissue. THEORY: ...
Parcerisas Albés, Adrià (Fecha de defensa: 2021-07-13)
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by the body's inability to produce the necessary amount of insulin to regulate blood glucose (BG) levels. Most cases occur due to a destruction of the pancreatic ...
