Obesity

The postprandial secretion of peptide YY1‐36 and 3‐36 in obesity is differentially increased after gastric bypass versus sleeve gastrectomy

Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)Published Observational study

Authors' conclusion

There appears to be no difference in PYY secretion between nonobese and obese volunteers at baseline. At 1 year after surgery, RYGB, but not SG, is associated with increased postprandial secretion of PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 , which may account for long-term differences in efficacy and adverse effects between the two types of surgery.

Study context

Population
Participants with obesity undergoing RYGB or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) at the Imperial Weight Centre, and healthy nonobese volunteers; standardized mixed meal test (MMT) before and 1 year after surgery
Participants
24 / 6 / 10
Exposure
RYGB vs SG
  • RYGBn = 24
  • SGn = 6reference
  • Healthy nonobese volunteersn = 10
Outcome
Fasting and postprandial PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 concentrations (LC-MS/MS assay)
Follow-up
1 year after surgery

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Postprandial PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 secretion · 1 year
  • Postprandial secretion of both PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 amplified after RYGB, but not SG; response significantly higher in RYGB vs SG
  • RYGB vs SG: response significantly higher with RYGB

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Presurgery fasting and postprandial PYY1-36 and PYY3-36

Levels low with minimal MMT responses; did not differ from healthy nonobese volunteers
