The group was focused in the T2DM resolution mechanism after bariatric surgeries. This surgical procedures are implied in obesity and comorbidities resolution. We developed several researchs in animals experimental models. Thus, we designed different surgeries similar to human clinic and other new experimental procedures. Afterward, we redirected our studies to human clinic. We are trying to probe the similities between animal findings and the human consequences on these several comorbidities. We have probed several cellular consequences on pancreas after surgeries. Even, the consequences on enterohormones released during and after surgeries.
Hepatic gland has a main importance in the T2DM resolution and obesity. We are implied in the hepatic influences in these clinical processes.

The PI earned the Medical degree in 1993 and Thesis degree in 1995. Since this years, he become partial fellow in the Human Anatomy and Embryology in the Cádiz. For some years he developed medical assistance as practitioner in the public health system. Since year 2000, he enrolled in the associated staff and began tasks in the teaching of Human Anatomy. JA Prada earned the tenured professor in 2004. He currently works at the Department of Human Anatomy and Embryology, Universidad de Cádiz. JA Prada does research in Anatomy-Endocrinology animal models. Our main interest is in our current project: 'Mechanisms of diabetes reversion through bariatric & metabolic surgery techniques'. The PI signed more than 40 papers, 16 of them in WOS-JCR papers.
