The role of GLP-1 in mediating the anorectic and metabolic effects of bariatric surgery. David D’Alessio, MD Division of Endocrinology University of Cincinnati Cincinnati VAMC
Overview 1.Glucagon like peptide 1- incretin and satiety factor. 2.Secretion of GLP-1 with bariatric surgery 3.GLP-1 and insulin secretion after RYGB 4. Do plasma levels of GLP-1 contribute to reduced food intake after bariatric procedures?

Secretion of L-cell products after RYGB B Laferrere, JCEM, 2010
HyperGLP-1emia is persistent following RYGB J Vidal, JCEM, 2009
GLP-1 elevation in VSG is comparable to RYGB R Peterli, Ann Surg, 2009 RYGB VSG
GLP-1 secretion after bariatric surgery 1.L-cell products are increased in RYGB and VSG 2.The elevation of plasma GLP-1 is 5-10 fold > non operated 3.The elevation of plasma GLP-1 after bariatric surgery is persistent 4.Gastric banding is not associated with major changes in circulating GLP-1 (or other GI hormones)
Does elevated GLP-1 contribute to changes in glucose tolerance following bariatric surgery?

Does GLP-1 contribute to reduced food intake following bariatric surgery?
Plasma GLP-1 levelsAd libitum Food Intake P = Fullness, satiety Hunger No nausea Flint et al, JCI, 1998 Peripheral infusion of GLP-1 to healthy humans decreases food intake
