End-to-end jejuno-ileal by-pass is one of the most extensively used surgical procedure in the treatment of morbid obesity. The Authors evaluated hematologic indices in experimentally induced obese Sprague-Dowley rats and their modifications after jejuno-ileal by-pass. This surgical procedure induced a significant weight loss and a considerable improvement of glucidic and lipidic metabolic disorders, presents in experimentally obese rats. The Authors conclude that an intestinal by-pass preserving a jejuno-ileal tract with sufficient absorbtion potential, is able to induce adequate weight loss with regression of glucidic and lipidic metabolic disorders, in absence of heavy alterations of the others hematologic indices.
