Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Corrects Hyperinsulinemia Implications for the Remission of Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract: After RYGB, fasting insulin decreases to levels like those of lean control subjects and diabetes is reversed (fasting blood glucose < 125 mg/dl). This leads us to propose that 1) exclusion of food from the foregut corrects hyperinsulinemia and 2) fasting insulin is dissociated from the influence of fasting glucose, insulin resistance, and BMI. The mechanisms for reversal of diabetes in the face of reduced insulin remain a paradox.

“…Preintervention S I measurements for both groups were similar, but substantially lower than those observed for normal-weight subjects of a similar age (3). Following the interventions, there was a significant time effect (P < 0.001), with both groups showing improved S I ( Table 2 and Figure 2).…”

“…The first is immediately after surgery, at which time hepatic, but not peripheral, S I improves in response to acute energy restriction (4-6), while greater, protracted weight loss appears to be more strongly associated with improved peripheral S I (7,8). Even with significant weight loss 1 year following RYBG surgery, peripheral S I is still low compared with that of lean metabolically healthy individuals (3,5,6,9).Exercise is considered a cornerstone for obesity treatment, and while it is not generally viewed to cause substantial body weight reduction (10), it can potently improve peripheral S I and glucose control (11-13) and can reduce the risk of T2D and cardiovascular disease (14,15). There is general consensus that even a single session of moderate intensity exercise can induce an improvement in S I (16).…”

“…In this context, hyperinsulinemia associated with leptin deficiency (ob/ob mice) or leptin receptor deficiency (db/db mice) may be explained by impaired tonic inhibition due to insufficient K ATP channel density at the surface membrane. Because there is a strong relationship among increased basal insulin levels, obesity, and diabetes in humans (36,37), a mechanism to dampen insulin secretion during fasting may provide therapeutic strategies for inhibiting development of obesity-related diabetes.…”

“…However, it remains unclear how much this ␤-cell mass increase contributes to HI as islets from these animals also have reduced insulin content (12,13). Interestingly, gastric bypass has been shown to quickly normalize HI in obese patients with and without T2D prior to significant changes in insulin sensitivity or substantial weight loss (14). Thus, because of the rapid nature of this reduction, functional changes seem likely to contribute to HI in addition to possible changes in ␤-cell mass.…”
