- OBJECTIVE: It has been proposed that the success of maintained weight loss in morbidly obese subjects following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) surgery depends on inappropriately low circulating concentrations of the appetite-stimulating peptide ghrelin, being unresponsive to food intake. In this study, this hypothesis was examined. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study with repeated blood samples in 40 subjects after 14 h of prolonged overnight fasting followed by a standardized mixed meal (770 kcal). SUBJECTS: Twenty men and 20 women were included: 10 middle-aged morbidly obese (body mass index (BMI) 43.9+/-3.3 kg/m(2)), 10 middle-aged subjects who had undergone RYGBP at the Uppsala University Hospital (BMI 34.7+/-5.8 kg/m(2)), 10 middle-aged non-obese (BMI 23.5+/-2.2 kg/m(2)) and 10 young non-obese (BMI 22.7+/-1.8 kg/m(2)). MEASUREMENTS: Ghrelin, glucose and insulin levels were analysed pre- and postprandially. RESULTS: In the morbidly obese, ghrelin concentrations were lower in the morning than in the RYGBP group and did not change following the meal. In the RYGBP group, fasting ghrelin levels fell after meal intake and showed similar suppression as both age-matched and young non-obese controls. The RYGBP surgery resulted in an increased meal-induced insulin secretion, which was related to the degree of postprandial ghrelin suppression. CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrates low circulating concentrations of ghrelin and blunted responses to fast and feeding in morbidly obese subjects. Marked weight reduction after RYGBP at our hospital is followed by a normalization of ghrelin secretion, illustrated by increased fasting levels compared to the preoperative obese state and regain of meal-induced ghrelin suppression.

- OBJECTIVE: Obesity is frequently associated with insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension and an increased risk ofcardiovascular disease, reflected in elevated markers of inflammation, in particular C-reactive protein (CRP). To what extent theinsulin resistance or the obesity per se contributes to increased CRP levels is unclear. In morbidly obese patients, gastric bypasssurgery causes marked changes in body weight and improves metabolism, thereby providing informative material for studies onthe regulation of inflammatory markers.DESIGN: Prospective, surgical intervention study of inflammatory markers in morbidly obese subjects.SUBJECTS: In total, 66 obese subjects with mean age 39 y and mean body mass index (BMI) 45 kg/m2 were studied prior to and6 and 12 months following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) surgery.MEASUREMENTS: Serum concentrations of high sensitivity CRP, serum amyloid A (SAA) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), as well asmarkers of glucose and lipid metabolism.RESULTS: Prior to surgery, CRP levels were elevated compared to the reference range of healthy, normal-weight subjects. CRPcorrelated with insulin sensitivity, as reflected by the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) index, but not BMI, whencorrected for age and gender. Surgery reduced BMI from 45 to 31 kg/m2 and lowered CRP, SAA and IL-6 levels by 82, 57 and50%, respectively, at 12 months. The reduction in CRP was inversely related to HOMA at baseline independently of the changein body weight (r=-0.36, P=0.005). At 12 months, 140 and 40% reductions in CRP were seen in subjects with HOMA o 4(insulin sensitive) and HOMA49 (insulin resistant) despite similar reductions in BMI. Reductions in SAA and IL-6 tended toparallel the changes in CRP, but were less informative.CONCLUSION: In morbidly obese subjects, gastric bypass surgery lowers energy intake, reduces inflammatory markers andimproves insulin sensitivity. Despite a marked reduction in body weight, only a small effect on CRP levels was seen in insulinresistantpatients, indicating that flexibility of circulating CRP levels is primarily dependent upon insulin sensitivity rather thanenergy supply.

- BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) powerfully reduces type 2 diabetes (T2DM) incidence. Proinsulin predicts development of T2DM. Adjustable gastric banding is associated with lowered proinsulin but after RYGBP information is scant. METHODS: Twenty-one non-diabetic morbidly obese patients who underwent RYGBP surgery were evaluated before (baseline), at 12 months (first follow-up), and at 42 months, range 36-50 (second follow-up), after surgery and compared to a control group, matched at baseline regarding fasting glucose, insulin, proinsulin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and body mass index (BMI). RESULTS: In the RYGBP group, fasting serum proinsulin concentrations were markedly lowered from 13.5 to 3.5 pmol/l at first follow-up and to 4.9 pmol/l at second follow-up (p < 0.001, respectively). Fasting insulin concentrations were reduced from 83.4 to 24.6 pmol/l at first follow-up (p < 0.001) and to 36.4 pmol/l at second follow-up (p < 0.01). ALT was lowered from 0.62 to 0.34 mukatal/l at first follow-up and continued to lower to 0.24 mukatal/l at second follow-up (p < 0.001, respectively). The further decrease between first and second follow-up was also significant (p = 0.002). HDL cholesterol increased from 1.16 to 1.45 mmol/l at the first follow-up and continued to increase at second follow-up to 1.58 mmol/l (p < 0.001, respectively). The further increase between first and second follow-up was also significant (p = 0.006). The differences between groups at first follow-up were significant for BMI, proinsulin, insulin, ALT, and HDL cholesterol (p = 0.04-0.001). CONCLUSION: RYGBP surgery in morbidly obese patients is not only characterized by markedly and sustained lowered BMI but also lowered concentrations of proinsulin, insulin, and ALT and increased HDL cholesterol.

- Hyperproinsulinemia is associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. We explored the after-meal dynamics of proinsulin and insulin and postprandial effects on glucose and lipids in patients treated with bileopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) surgery compared with normal-weight controls [body mass index (BMI)+/- SD, 23.2 +/- 2.4 kg/m(2)].Ten previously morbidly obese (BMI +/- SD, 53.5 +/- 3.8 kg/m(2)) patients free from diabetes who had undergone BPD-DS (BMI +/- SD, 29.0 +/- 5.2 kg/m(2)) 2 years earlier were recruited. A standardised meal (2400 kJ) was ingested, and glucose, proinsulin, insulin, free fatty acids and triglycerides (TGs) were determined during 180 min. Follow-up characteristics yearly on glucose, lipids, creatinine and uric acid over 3 years after BPD-DS are presented.Fasting glucose and insulin were lower, 0.4 mmol/L and 4.6 pmol/L, respectively, in the BPD-DS group despite higher BMI. Fasting proinsulin was similar in both groups. Postprandial area under the curve (AUC) for glucose, proinsulin and insulin did not differ between the two groups (p = 0.106-734). Postprandial changes in glucose, proinsulin and insulin were essentially similar but absolute concentrations of proinsulin and insulin were lower in the later phases in the BPD-DS group (p = 0.052-0.001). Postprandial AUC for TGs was lower in the BPD-DS group (p = 0.005). Postprandial changes in TGs were lowered in the intermediate phase (p = 0.07-0.08) and in the late phase (0.002). Follow-up data showed markedly lowered creatinine and uric acid after BPD-DS.BPD-DS surgery induces a large weight loss and lowers, close to normal, postprandial responses of glucose, proinsulin and insulin but with marked lowering of TGs.

- Aims Hyperproinsulinaemia is associated with obesity and is a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes. We explored the dynamics of proinsulin and insulin and postprandial effects on glucose and lipids in subjects who had undergone gastric bypass (GBP) surgery compared with morbidly obese (MO) subjects and normal weight control subjects (NW). Methods Subjects free from diabetes were recruited: 10 previously MO subjects [body mass index (BMI) ± SD, 34.8 ± 6.2 kg/m2] who had undergone GBP surgery, 10 MO subjects (BMI 44 ± 3.1 kg/m2) and 12 NW control subjects (BMI 23.2 ± 2.4 kg/m2). After an overnight fast, a standard meal (2400 kJ) was ingested and glucose, proinsulin, insulin free fatty acids and triglycerides were determined up to 180 min. Results Fasting proinsulin was similar in the GBP group and NW control subjects, but threefold increased in MO subjects (P < 0.05). Postprandial AUC for glucose was similar in the three groups and AUC for proinsulin was high in MO, intermediate in the GBP group and lowest in NW control subjects (P for trend = 0.020). Postprandial proinsulin at 60 min was similar in the GBP group and MO subjects and twofold higher than in NW control subjects. Postprandial proinsulin at 180 min was normal in the GBP group, but fivefold increased in MO subjects (P = 0.008). Insulin increased rapidly at 30 min in the GBP group and was normal at 90 min, whereas insulin was still increased at 90-180 min in the MO subjects (P < 0.001). Conclusions MO subjects, free from diabetes, have elevated proinsulin concentrations in the fasting as well as the postprandial phase. After GBP surgery markedly lower fasting and postprandial proinsulin concentrations were observed, although BMI was higher compared with NW control subjects.

- BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) has become a common surgical procedure to treat morbid obesity. Furthermore, it strongly reduces the incidence of type 2 diabetes and mortality. However, there is scant information on how magnesium status is affected by RYGBP surgery. Previous bariatric surgery methods, like jejunoileal bypass, are associated with hypomagnesemia. METHODS: Twenty-one non-diabetic morbidly obese patients who underwent RYGBP were evaluated before and 1 year after surgery and compared to a matched morbidly obese control group regarding serum magnesium. Groups were matched regarding weight, BMI, abdominal sagittal diameter and fasting glucose, blood pressure, and serum magnesium concentrations before surgery in the RYGBP group. RESULTS: The serum magnesium concentrations increased by 6% from 0.80 to 0.85 mmol/l (p = 0.019) in the RYGBP group while a decrease by 4% (p = 0.132) was observed in the control group. The increase in magnesium concentration at the 1-year follow-up in the RYGBP group was accompanied by a decreased abdominal sagittal diameter (r (2) = 0.32, p = 0.009), a lowered BMI (r (2) = 0.28, p = 0.0214), a lowered glucose concentration (r (2) = 0.28, p = 0.027) but not by a lowered insulin concentration (p = 0.242), a lowered systolic (p = 0.789) or a lowered diastolic (p = 0.785) blood pressure. CONCLUSION: RYGBP surgery in morbidly obese subjects is characterized by reduced visceral adiposity, lowered plasma glucose, and increased circulating magnesium concentrations. The inverse association between lowered central obesity, lowered plasma glucose and increased magnesium concentrations, needs further detailed studies to identify underlying mechanisms.
