    CELA2A expression increases in gastric mucosa but decreases in the jejunum after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).

  • 2

    Before RYGB, jejunal CELA2A levels correlate positively with HbA1c, indicating a potential role in glucose metabolism.

  • 3

    In high-fat diet-fed mice, jejunal CELA2A expression rises while gastric expression declines, suggesting dietary influence on regulation.

  • 4

    CELA2A is implicated in gastrointestinal metabolic signaling, highlighting its potential role beyond being a digestive enzyme.

  • 5

    Further studies are needed to clarify CELA2A's cellular origin and its functional role in glucose homeostasis post-surgery.
