Alterations of Hormonally Active Fibroblast Growth Factors after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery

Abstract: Thirty-five morbidly obese patients underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB). In addition to weight loss, these patients showed significant improvement of insulin resistance and a reduction of hepatic fat content. Three months after surgery, the serum bile salts were slightly but significantly elevated, and the levels of the endocrine-acting fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) and FGF21 were increased. FGF19 and FGF21 play a role as regulators of hepatic lipid and glucose metabolism. These results sho… Show more

“…Also of interest is the as yet untested hypothesis that beneficial metabolic effects of bariatric surgical procedures are tied to increased FGF19 secretion from gut enterocytes. Consistent with this possibility, circulating levels of bile acids (45,46) and FGF19 increase following roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery in humans (47,48). As bile acid stimulation of FGF19 secretion is mediated via FXR, these data collectively raise the possibility that increased bile acid-induced stimulation of FGF19 secretion (and increased GE) contributes to the high rate of diabetes remission induced by RYGB (49), but a direct test of this hypothesis is still awaited.…”

“…However, not all researchers agree on this postulate (121), but, interestingly, it has been proposed that diabetic patients may also exhibit decreased FGF19 signalling and a subsequent impaired FGF19-dependent reduction in bile acid synthesis (121, 188). Lastly, following RYGB surgery, FGF19 concentrations increase, probably reflecting enhanced delivery of bile to the distal intestine and thus increased activation of FXR (21, 189,190). Thus, FGF19 may constitute an important, postprandial enteroendocrine factor -with possible incretin-like actions -regulating hepatic protein and glycogen synthesis and gluconeogenesis (180,184).…”

“…Also, body weight loss and/or calorie restriction have an impact on glucose and BA homeostasis [14,15]. During malabsorptive procedures, such as various types of gastric bypass surgeries performed commonly nowadays, a small pouch is created in the stomach, connecting it with the proximal jejunum.…”
