Factors underlying the effects of gastric bypass surgery on glucose homeostasis are incompletely understood. Here the authors developed and applied high-throughput mediation analysis to identify proteome/metabolome mediators of improved glucose homeostasis after to gastric bypass surgery, and report that improved glycemia was mediated by the growth hormone receptor.
