Omeprazole Absorption and Fasting Gastrinemia After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the bariatric surgeries most frequently performed worldwide. Since this operation may predispose to the formation of peptic ulcer of the gastrojejunal anastomosis, the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) is recommended during the first postoperative year. However, so far, there is no detailed knowledge about the absorption of this medication during the immediate postoperative period and consequently about its effectiveness in blocking acid secretion. The objective was to assess the possible endoscopic peptic changes, the absorption of omeprazole (OME), and the status of fasting gastrinemia before and after RYGB operation.. OME absorption, the production of its metabolites omeprazole sulfone (OMES) and 5-hydroxyomeprazole (HOME), and basal (fasting) gastrinemia were determined in patients submitted to RYGB before and 2 months after the operation. Upper digestive endoscopy (UDE) was also performed before and 6 months after the operation.. Twenty patients were studied. Preoperatively, all these patients had some peptic changes and 55% tested positive for Helicobacter pylori. Six months after surgery, ten patients still showed endoscopic changes and one patient tested positive for H. pylori. During the postoperative period, there was a reduction of OME absorption and of the production of its metabolites 90 min after administration of the drug, and reduction of serum gastrin levels.. The standard OME dose (40 mg) administered after bariatric surgery is insufficient to achieve serum levels that can effectively block the production of hydrochloric acid, permitting the formation of peptic injuries in many patients.

Acute parathyroid hormone increase by oral peptones administration after roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in obese subjects: role of phosphate in the rapid control of parathyroid hormone release.
It is generally considered that changes in serum phosphate levels do not alter parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion in the absence of concomitant changes in ionized serum calcium level in humans. An acute rise in PTH was shown after phosphate administration by intraduodenal gavage in rats. We aimed to study gastrin, phosphate, PTH, ionized calcium (iCa), and blood pH responses to oral peptones in morbidly obese patients before and after roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery.. These parameters were evaluated in response to an oral peptone load in 24 (18 male and 6 female) obese subjects before and 6 months after RYGB surgery. In 12 gastric bypass patients, we also evaluated PTH and phosphate after peptones plus aluminum hydroxide administration to suppress phosphate absorption.. Before RYGB, peptones increased gastrin (P < .001), and decreased iCa (P < .01) without changes in PTH or pH. Both phosphate and PTH markedly increased after RYGB with the peptones oral load (P < .01), without changes in pH, iCa, or gastrin. There was a significant, direct relationship between the increase of phosphate and the increase of PTH in the patients treated with aluminum hydroxide (r(2) = 0.78; P < .0001).. Rapid delivery of peptones in the jejunum in bypassed obese patients results in a significant rise in phosphate and PTH, in the absence of changes of other PTH regulators, possibly mediated by a signaling from the gastrointestinal tract. RYGB patients provide an opportunity to study the control of PTH secretion, with potential relevant clinical implications.

The Sleeping Remnant. Effect of Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass on Plasma Levels of Gastric Biomarkers in Morbidly Obese Women: A Prospective Longitudinal Study.
Morpho-functional modifications of the gastric remnant after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) have not been completely defined, due to its inaccessibility for bioptic mapping. The aim of the study is to evaluate such modifications using Gastropanel®, a non-invasive blood test cross-checking four gastric biomarkers, able to provide a snapshot of mucosa conditions.. Twenty-four women undergoing RYGB were prospectively enrolled. Gastropanel® parameters (pepsinogens, Gastrin-17 and immunoglobulins against Helicobacter pylori), biometrical/clinical data were collected preoperatively and at 6-months follow-up.. All parameters showed significant reduction (p < 0.05). Pepsinogen I reduction correlated with BMI percent decrease.. The exclusion of food transit is responsible for significant drop in gastric output, hardly representing a risk factor in the remnant carcinogenesis, being unexposed to alimentary carcinogenic agents.

The effect of duodenojejunostomy and sleeve gastrectomy on type 2 diabetes mellitus and gastrin secretion in Goto-Kakizaki rats.
Bariatric surgery is a highly effective treatment of type 2 diabetes in patients with morbid obesity. The weight-loss independent improvement of glycemic control observed after these procedures has led to the discussion whether bariatric surgery can be introduced as treatment for type 2 diabetes in patients with a body mass index < 35 kg/m(2). We have studied the effects of two bariatric procedures on type 2 diabetes and on gastrointestinal hormone secretion in a lean diabetic animal model.. Male Goto-Kakizaki rats, 17-18 weeks old, were randomized into three groups: duodenojejunostomy (DJ), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), or sham operation. During 36 postoperative weeks we evaluated body weight, fasting blood glucose, glucose tolerance, insulin, HbA1c, glucagon-like peptide 1, cholesterol parameters, triglycerides, total ghrelin, and gastrin.. Oral glucose tolerance was significantly improved for both DJ and SG at four weeks after surgery (p < 0.05). At the 34th postoperative week, SG had significantly lower area under the curve during oral glucose tolerance test compared to sham (p = 0.007). SG had significantly lower HbA1c compared to sham at 12 weeks; (mean ± SEM) 4.3 ± 0.1 % versus 5.2 ± 0.3 % (p < 0.05) and compared to both DJ and sham 34 weeks after surgery [median (75 %;25 %)] 5.2 (6.0; 4.3) % versus 7.0 (7.5; 6.7) % and 7.3 (7.6; 6.7) % (p = 0.009). Serum gastrin levels were markedly elevated for SG compared to DJ and sham; 188.0 (318.0; 121.0) versus 77.5 (114.0; 58.0) and 68.0 (90.0; 59.5) pmol/L (p = 0.004) at six weeks and 192.0 (587.8; 110.8) versus 65.5 (77.0; 59.0) and 69.5 (113.0; 55.5) (p = 0.001) 36 weeks after surgery.. Sleeve gastrectomy induces hypergastrinemia, lowers HbA1c, and improves glycemic control in Goto-Kakizaki rats. Sleeve gastrectomy is superior to duodenojejunostomy as treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in this animal model.

Epithelial cell turnover is increased in the excluded stomach mucosa after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity.
Mucosal alterations after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity have not been clearly evaluated. This study aims to analyze the mucosal alterations (proliferative status (Ki-67); apoptosis (caspase-3 and BCL-2); hormonal function (gastrin)) in the excluded stomach.. Double-balloon enteroscopy was performed in 35 patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass longer than 36 months. Multiple biopsies of the proximal pouch and the excluded gastric mucosa were collected. Gastric biopsies from 32 non-operated obese patients were utilized as controls. Endoscopic biopsies were cut from tissue blocks fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. Sections 4 μm thick were examined for immunoexpression using the streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase method.. The two groups were comparable for age, gender, gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and Helicobacter pylori. The mean number of positive gastrin cells was 55.5 (standard deviation (SD) = 11.7) in the control group and 29.6 (SD = 7.9) in the cases, p = 0.0003. Ki-67 proliferative index in cases (body = 24.7%, antrum = 24.9%) was significantly higher compared to controls (body = 15.0% and antrum = 17.7%), p = 0.002 and 0.01, respectively. Caspase-3 immunoexpression was higher in the controls compared to the excluded stomach (46 vs. 31%), p = 0.02. There was no statistical difference between CD3, CD8, and Bcl-2 immunoexpressions in the control and cases.. Cell proliferation is increased and apoptosis is downregulated in the excluded gastric mucosa compared to the non-operated obese controls. Alterations in cell turnover and in hormonal secretions in these conditions may be of relevance in long-term follow-up.

Changes in gastrointestinal hormone responses, insulin sensitivity, and beta-cell function within 2 weeks after gastric bypass in non-diabetic subjects.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery causes profound changes in secretion of gastrointestinal hormones and glucose metabolism. We present a detailed analysis of the early hormone changes after RYGB in response to three different oral test meals designed to provide this information without causing side effects (such as dumping).. We examined eight obese non-diabetic patients before and within 2 weeks after RYGB. On separate days, oral glucose tolerance tests (25 or 50 g glucose dissolved in 200 mL of water) and a liquid mixed meal test (200 mL 300 kcal) were performed. We measured fasting and postprandial glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, total and intact glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), peptide YY(3-36) (PYY), cholecystokinin (CCK), total and active ghrelin, gastrin, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide (PP), amylin, leptin, free fatty acids (FFA), and registered postprandial dumping. Insulin sensitivity was measured by homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance.. Fasting glucose, insulin, ghrelin, and PYY were significantly decreased and FFA was elevated postoperatively. Insulin sensitivity increased after surgery. The postprandial response increased for C-peptide, GLP-1, GLP-2, PYY, CCK, and glucagon (in response to the mixed meal) and decreased for total and active ghrelin, leptin, and gastrin, but were unchanged for GIP, amylin, PP, and somatostatin after surgery. Dumping symptoms did not differ before and after the operation or between the tests.. Within 2 weeks after RYGB, we found an increase in insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity. Responses of appetite-regulating intestinal hormones changed dramatically, all in the direction of reducing hunger.

Carcinoid tumors and morbid obesity.
Carcinoid is a rare gastrointestinal tumor, with an incidence varying from 1 to 2.5 per 100,000 in the general population. In this article, we report an elevated incidence of carcinoid tumor in an obese population, showing the importance of performing an endoscopic procedure before bariatric surgery.

Basal and postprandial plasma levels of PYY, ghrelin, cholecystokinin, gastrin and insulin in women with moderate and morbid obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome (MS), defined as central obesity, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia and glucose intolerance, has been associated with inflammatory biomarkers and cardiovascular diseases. This study was carried out on three groups of women; lean controls, moderately obese with MS (OB-MS) and morbidly obese with MS (MOB-MS). The main objectives were: 1. to analyze the plasma levels of total and acylated ghrelin, peptide YY(3-36) (PYY(3-36)), cholecystokinin (CCK), gastrin and insulin levels under basal conditions and in response to a standard mixed meal, and 2. to elucidate the relationship between the plasma levels of these gut peptides and metabolic syndrome parameters. Plasma levels of the gut hormones were measured by radioimmunoassays at time 0 just before the meal and at 30, 60 and 120 min after a meal ingestion. Traditional lipid profile and high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP), the strongest biomarker of inflammation were also determined in OB-MS and MOB-MS. When compared to OB-MS, MOB-MS exhibited much higher anthropometric parameters such as waist circumference, higher fat mass and higher plasma levels of low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and hs-CRP. Both these obese groups revealed significantly higher values of body mass index (BMI), fat mass, total cholesterol (TC), LDL-C, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, insulin resistance (IR) calculated from homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) and hs-CRP compared to the values recorded in lean subjects. Fasting PYY(3-36) level was lower, while fasting acylated ghrelin was higher in MOB-MS than in OB-MS. Plasma total and acylated ghrelin levels were significantly lower in OB-MS compared to lean women. In MOB-MS women the fasting PYY(3-36) levels were lower compared to lean controls and OB-MS, whilst postprandially in both OB-MS and MOB-MS, it was much lower than in lean women. The fasting plasma levels of total and acylated ghrelin and their postprandial decrease were significantly smaller in both obese groups compared to lean subjects. Plasma hs-CRP levels correlated positively with BMI, waist circumference, fat mass, fasting glucose, HOMA IR and fasting active ghrelin, whilst it negatively correlated with plasma fasting and total ghrelin. Moreover, plasma fasting acylated ghrelin correlated positively with fat mass. Fasting total ghrelin correlated positively with BMI, HDL-C and negatively with HOMA IR. We conclude that MS features of obesity are closely Topics: Acylation; Adult; Blood Glucose; Body Mass Index; C-Reactive Protein; Cholecystokinin; Cholesterol, LDL; Fasting; Female; Gastrins; Gastrointestinal Hormones; Ghrelin; Humans; Insulin; Insulin Resistance; Metabolic Syndrome; Obesity; Obesity, Morbid; Peptide Hormones; Peptide YY; Poland; Postprandial Period | 2007 |
Basal and postprandial gut peptides affecting food intake in lean and obese pregnant women.
Maternal obesity has been reported as a risk factor for various maternal and fetal complications. The aim of the present study was to examine the patterns of basal and postprandial plasma concentrations of certain gut hormones affecting food intake such as acylated ghrelin, peptide YY(3-36) (PYY(3-36)), cholecystokinin (CCK), insulin and glucose in pregnant women with varying body mass gain during physiological pregnancy. The study included 34 women with singleton pregnancies in the 2(nd) trimester of gestation. The examined pregnant women were divided into 4 groups; I. control pregnancy (CP) with weight gain below 0.5 kg/week; II. overweight low weight gain <1 kg/week (OLWG), III. overweight high weight gain >1 kg/week (OHWG); morbidly obese pregnant with weight gain >1.5 kg/week (MOP). The basal acylated-ghrelin levels in MOP subjects were significantly higher than those in CP and no usual suppression of acylated ghrelin after the meal observed in CP as well as in OLWG and OHWG was found in MOP women. Basal PYY(3-36) plasma levels were similar in CP, OLWG and OHWG but in MOP was significantly reduced and no significant increase in hormone level, typically observed in CP, was detected after a meal in overweight or obese women studied. The fasting CCK and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in MOP subjects were significantly higher than those in CP and other overweight women. In conclusion, we found that pregnant women with overweight and obesity exhibit significant changes in fasting and postprandial gut hormones affecting food intake such as acylated ghrelin, PYY(3-36) and CCK as well as in CRP and these changes might contribute, at least in part, the development of obesity in pregnancy.

[Does the stomach balloon modify the function of the esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter, stomach emptying and release of gastrointestinal peptides?].
The Willmen gastric bubble has been used as an adjunct to weight loss in morbidly obese patients. 35 patients with morbid obesity were studied with routine manometry, esophageal 24-h-pH-measurement, and gastric emptying studies before and 4 weeks after bubble placement. During emptying studies blood samples were taken to measure gastrin, PP, CCK, VIP, neurotensin and insulin. No patient developed heartburn or regurgitation after bubble placement. Esophageal motility and LES function remained unchanged. There was no important pathological gastroesophageal reflux before and after gastric bubble. The gastric emptying time of solid food was unchanged by gastric bubble placement and the emptying time of liquids was accelerated up to normal. In patients with fasting gastrin levels less than 20 pg/ml at the beginning of the first test we found no differences in gastrin release before and after bubble insertion. In patients with primary high fasting values gastrin release was significantly increased. CCK, VIP, neurotensin and insulin levels were unchanged. With PP we measured significantly raised fasting levels after gastric bubble. We conclude that esophageal and LES functions are not altered by Willmen gastric bubble placement and that primary retardation of fluids is changed to normal. Bubble induced gastric tension increases fasting PP. In case of high fasting gastrin the bubble leads to an extremely high food response without any clinical signs.

Serum gastrin, insulin and somatostatin levels in normal and obese subjects before and after gastric banding.
The postprandial secretion of insulin, gastrin and somatostatin was studied in 23 extremely obese subjects and nine normal-weight controls after a liquid test meal. Apart from a significantly higher insulin level in the obese group, no significant intergroup difference was found. The effect of weight loss on the same hormones was studied in 18 patients 6 months after gastric banding. The mean weight loss during this period was 33 +/- 2.1 (SEM) kg. There was significant decrease in postprandial insulin secretion after gastric banding, but neither gastrin nor somatostatin levels were altered.

The effect of an intragastric balloon on weight loss, gastric acid secretion, and serum peptide levels.
The results of our preliminary experience with the gastric balloon program for weight loss in morbidly obese patients are reported. In a pilot project, we measured gastric-acid secretion, gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) levels in ten patients before and during balloon therapy in a study of the impact of the balloon on gastric physiology. Gastric-acid secretion tended to decrease following balloon treatment, while gastrin and CCK levels were unchanged suggesting that weight loss is achieved by mechanisms, which are not mediated by gastrin or CCK. The balloon program was then expanded to a group of 29 patients who met the criteria. They were followed for a period of 4 months. Average weight loss for the group was 31 +/- 4 pounds for a monthly average of 8 pounds. The main complications were gastric ulcers in four patients and a small-bowel obstruction in one patient. Satisfactory weight loss was achieved in 80 per cent of patients, but this benefit must be balanced against a relatively high incidence (17%) of side effects, some of which were quite serious. Therefore, the gastric balloon program should still be considered experimental.

Gastric secretion in massive obesity. Evidence for abnormal response to vagal stimulation.
Studies in animals and man suggest involvement of the vagal nerve in the pathophysiology of massive obesity. An abnormal vagal response pattern has been found in the obese rat, but corresponding functional studies in obese man are nonexistent. The gastric acid secretion was therefore examined in 13 nondiabetic grossly obese patients (average body weight 120 kg) and compared to 16 age-matched controls of normal body weight. The gastric acid response to modified sham feeding was significantly (P less than 0.05) reduced in obese patients, being on average 60% of the control output. The obese patients had a higher maximal gastric acid response to graded intravenous pentagastrin, 36.6 +/- 2.9 mmol/hr, compared to 27.1 +/- 2.4 mmol/hr in controls (P less than 0.05). In addition, the patients seemed to need less pentagastrin to reach a secretory plateau. Basal acid secretion rates were similar in obese and control groups. Plasma gastrin and blood glucose were not significantly different in obese patients and controls, but patients had significantly elevated plasma insulin levels. The change of plasma insulin during the sham-feeding procedure correlated with the magnitude of the secretory response in obese and control subjects. The reduced gastric acid response to vagal stimulation in the absence of impaired parietal cell function in obese patients is indicative of an association between massive obesity and altered vagal function in man.
