NCT02036710

Brief Summary

Background: Physicians do not have a unified, scientifically tested theory of causation for obesity and its comorbidities, nor do they have explanations for the mechanics of the metabolic/bariatric surgery procedures. Integral to proffered hypotheses are the actions of the hormones glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), and leptin. Study objective: To obtain blood levels of GLP-1, PYY, and leptin after stimulation of the terminal ileum and cecum by a static infusion of a food hydrolysate in morbidly obese patients undergoing a duodenal switch procedure. Methods: Plasma levels of GLP-1, PYY, and leptin were obtained at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after instillation of 240 ml of a food hydrolysate into the ileum or cecum.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • GLP-1

    GLP- levels were measured at intervals over two hours after static bowel food hydrolysate was infused, in patients undergoing scheduled open duodenal switch procedure.

    2 hours

  • peptide YY (PYY)

    PYY levels were measured at intervals over two hours after static bowel food hydrolysate was infused, in patients undergoing scheduled open duodenal switch procedure.

    2 hours

  • Leptin

    Leptin levels were measured at intervals over two hours after static bowel food hydrolysate was infused, in patients undergoing scheduled open duodenal switch procedure.

    2 hours

Study Arms (2)

Cecum

Food hydrolysate instilled into terminal cecum of patient undergoing open duodenal switch procedure. Blood samples were then obtained at baseline and at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes for analysis of circulating GLP-1, PYY, and leptin.

Ileum

Food hydrolysate instilled into terminal ileum of patient undergoing open duodenal switch procedure. Blood samples were then obtained at baseline and at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes for analysis of circulating GLP-1, PYY, and leptin.
