In subjects with preoperative T2D, RYGB did not increase circulating Fst contrasting subjects with NGT, while the reduction in activin A was maintained. ActRIIB signaling was upregulated in adipose tissue, but not skeletal muscle, following RYGB in both individuals with NGT and T2D. Our results suggest a role of adipose tissue ActRIIB signaling for the beneficial effects of RYGB surgery.
