Correlation Between Pre and Postoperative Levels of GLP-1/GLP-2 and Weight Loss After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Prospective Study

Abstract: Background: The role of gut hormones in glucose homeostasis and weight loss achievement and maintenance after bariatric surgery appears to be a key point in the understanding of the beneficial effects observed following these procedures. Aim: To determine whether there is a correlation between the pre and postoperative levels of both GLP-1 and GLP-2 and the excess weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Methods: An exploratory prospective study which enrolled 11 individuals who underwent RYGB and we… Show more

“…This has been linked to the hyperplasia of jejunal mucosa reported in several studies (12,13,57), including the present one, resulting in an increase of villi height in the common and alimentary limbs (56) as well as mucosal volume and weight (12). This trophic effect may be mediated by glucagon-like peptide-2, which has been reported to be overexcreted in animal models and in humans (15,16). We also observed a hyperplasia in the common limb and even in the ileum (Fig.…”

“…Several studies document the influence of weight loss in improving the quality of life 2 , 9 , 13 , 16 , 18 , 26 . This improvement was described by Hachem and Brennan 16 in a systematic review finding that bariatric surgery produced better results compared with other treatments for obesity, especially in the first two years after surgery.…”

“…It is secreted by means of proteolytic cleavage of proglucagon in response to the passage of nutrients through the distal small bowel, in a 1:1 ratio with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) in a process mediated by enzymes proglucagon convertase 1/3 (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) . Although the properties of GLP-2 have not been completely elucidated to date, it presents several known physiologic functions, of which the main are the trophic effect on the gut mucosa and the enhancement of nutrient absorption (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) .…”
