Mechanisms of Bariatric Surgery, Dallas
Bariatric Surgery, Dallas historically was classified as ‘restrictive’ (laparoscopic
adjustable gastric band (LAGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG),
‘malabsorptive’ (biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), or a
combination of both (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
Gastric Hormones
Ghrelin is secreted from X/A-like cells in the
fundus. It is the only known orexigenic (appetite stimulant) gut hormone. Its
levels are highest in the fasted state, and decrease postprandially.
Bariatric
surgeries have distinct effects on ghrelin secretion. LSG and RYGB are
associated with decreased ghrelin levels, while LAGB is associated with
increased ghrelin levels. As such, the association between ghrelin levels
and weight loss is varied and further study is needed.
Small Intestinal Hormones
Incretins are a class of gut hormones that
include glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like
peptide 1 (GLP-1). GIP is secreted postprandially from K cells in the duodenum
and jejunum, and GLP-1 from L cells in the terminal ileum.
To date, it has been widely believed that GIP
and GLP-1 are important factors that contribute to both weight loss and
improvement in glycemic control after bariatric Surgery, Dallas.16
Bile Acids
Bile acids, particularly secondary bile acids,
have been shown to induce incretins secretion, which lead to increased insulin
and decreased glucose levels.
Increased
BA concentrations have been shown to associate with higher GLP-1 and GIP
levels, which contribute to improvement in glycemic control. The role of bile acids in LAGB and LSG are less clear.
Gut Microbiota
It has been proposed that changes in intestinal
flora may be associated with metabolic improvement after bariatric Surgery, Dallas. Increased prevalence of Bacteroidetes leads
to increased conversion of primary to secondary bile acids via 7α-hydroxylase
leading to greater GIP and GLP-1 release.
