Serum levels of the incretin‐like peptide 26RFa are diminished in women living with obesity and diabetes and restored after sleeve gastrectomy: Results from the prospective pilot RFa ‐Ba‐S study

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

This prospective clinical study provides the first evidence that circulating 26RFa is altered mainly in WlwOB-T2D, and that these defects are partially reversed after SG.

Study context

Population
Women living with obesity with or without T2D undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and lean healthy volunteers
Participants
61 women
Exposure
Women with severe obesity with or without T2D before and after SG vs lean healthy controls
Outcome
Serum 26RFa concentrations during meal tests
Follow-up
Before SG, and 30 and 180 days after SG
Methodological detailspilot
  • Pilot

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Serum 26RFa levels
Fasting 26RFa increased in WlwOB-T2D throughout follow-up up to 6 months after SG
P < .001

Observational data: associations, not effects.
