Is weight loss revealing underlying pathology? Points of Discussion Discuss the interaction between hormones and regulation of appetite Review metabolic changes associated with gastric by-pass surgery Decide if gastric by-pass is a risk factor for hyperinsulinemia hypoglycemia Peptides, Hormones & Neurotransmitters Effect On Eating Orexigenic Anorectic Neuropeptide Y (Y1) Serotonin GABA (A) Cholecystokinin Norepinephrine (α2) Dopamine (D2) Glucocorticoid (type II) Leptin Galanin Insulin Opiods TRH Aldosterone (type I) Calcitonin Opiods Bombesin GHRH VIP Ghrelin CRH Neurotensin CGRP Glucagon IL-1 and 2 TNF, Prostaglandin Appetite Control Wynne et. al., JCEM 2004, 89(6):2576-2582 Intestinal Regulation of Appetite Ghrelin Secreted from oxyntic cells of stomach Initiates hunger Increases before meal Decreases afterward Increases calorie intake True role in decreasing appetite is debated Intestinal Regulation of Appetite Peptide YY (PYY) Satiety and nutrient absorption Crosses blood brain barrier Secreted from entire intestine Greater in distal L cells Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) Satiety and nutrient absorption Produced by pancreas Colon and rectum Stimulated by food More is released with later meals of the day Stimulated by food via vagal Increased with anorexia stimulation Variable levels seen with Increased levels High calorie Fat Inactivated by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) obesity Intestinal Regulation of Appetite Wynne et. al., JCEM 2004, 89(6):2576-2582 Intestinal Regulation of Appetite Glucagon-like peptides (GLP-1 & 2) Satiety Expressed in brain, pancreas and small intestine L-cells Stimulated by food Acts via the GLP-1 receptor Augments postprandial insulin secretion Decreases gastric motility Inhibits gastric acid secretion Oxyntomodulin (OXM) Satiety Expressed in brain, and small intestine L-cells Stimulated by food Acts via the GLP-1 receptor Augments postprandial insulin secretion Decreases gastric motility Inhibits gastric acid secretion Meal termination Inhibits Ghrelin Intestinal Regulation of Appetite Cholecystokinin (CCK) Satiety and nutrient absorption Released by duodenum and jejunum L cells Stimulated by intraluminal food Bariatric Surgery Gastric Banding 30-50% weight loss Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass 50-80% weight loss Bariatric Surgery Most effective way to achieve weight loss Reduces weight by 35-40% Maintained for 15 years Decreases appetite Malabsorption is limited Bariatric Surgery Complications Immediate post surgical risks Malabsorption Limited time Dumping syndrome Nausea Bloating Colic Diarrhea Light headedness Diaphoresis Palpitations Bariatric Surgery Benefits Improves obesity-related comorbidities Diabetes Hypertension Dyslipidemia Nonalcoholic steatosis Sleep apnea Reflux esophagitis Venous stasis ulcers Infertility Arthritis Pseudotumor cerebri Stress incontinence Bariatric Surgery Physiology Banded N=17 Control N=17 Dixon et al., JCEM 2005, 90(2):813-19 Bariatric Surgery Physiology Glucose mg/dl Insulin uIU/L 135 60 125 50 40 115 30 105 20 95 10 85 0700 0900 1000 1100 0700 0900 1000 1100 □ BMI matched controls N=17 ●○ Lap band patients N=17 Dixon et al., JCEM 2005, 90(2):813-19 Gastric-bypass Hormonal Changes After bypass Ghrelin variable results Leptin decreases Glucose decreases Insulin decreases Adiponectin increases CCK, VIP and Serotonin unaffected Gastric-bypass Hormonal Changes Future studies Response of other intestinal hormones Understand the complex interactions between hormones and appetite Other unidentified players? Hyperinsulinemia Hypoglycemia From Gastric-Bypass? Service et. al., NEJM 2005, 353(3):249-54 β-cell Proliferation Authors postulate that gastric-bypass increases incretin like substances Increased bolus delivery to distal small intestine β-cells stimulated to increased insulin secretion = hypertrophy What happens to islet cells with incretin supplementation?

Currently no evidence to support Possibly Insulin resistance is protective Patients that need surgery Unknown defect in β-cell function Hypoglycemia Trials Are patients not identified?
