GUT as an endocrine system Gastric Bypass (1967) Rehfeld J, 2004
Metabolic syndrome Complications of obesity are mainly attributable to increase in visceral adipose tissue mass: glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia, hypertrigliceridemia. As compared to subcutaneous adipocytes, visceral adipocytes have higher basal lypolisis, higher sensitivity to cathecolamines and poorer sensitivity to insulin.
excessive fat availability ENVIRONMENT fat penetration into the muscular cell the muscular cell uses fat instead of glucose as the energy source insulin resistance hyperinsulinemia
Adipokines TNF-, IL-6 (markers of inflammation) Angiotensinogen, (potentially involved in raising blood pressure) Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (potentially involved in raising blood pressure) Adiponectin: plasma levels are negatively associated with insulin-resistance

RYGB and Metabolic alterations Reorganization of gastrointestinal anatomy and not merely reduction in calorie intake and weight loss. Exclusion of duodenum and proximal jejunum, triggering changes enteral-insular axis (foregut hypotesis) Earlier arrival of nutrients to ileum (hindgut hypotesis) Tavares de Sa et al Obes Surg 2011

Meal Test CONCLUSIONS 1. LRYGB and LSG were associated with an early and INSULIN dramatic improvement in glycemic control GHRELIN 2. insulin, GLP-1, and PYY levels increased similarly after either procedure PYY Our results do not support GLP-1 the idea that the proximal small intestine mediates the improvement in glucose homeostasis.

The Hindgut Theory The more rapid delivery of undigested nutrients to the distal bowel upregulates the production of L-cell derivatives like Peptide YY, GLP-1 Mason E. Obes Surg 2005 15, 459-461 Rubino et.al, Ann Surg, 2006
Hindgut theory: Peptide YY Secreted from entire GI tract L cells Mainly distal (ileum, colon and rectum) Food intake stimulates its release fasting reduces it Effects May ameliorate insulin resistance (in mice) Delays pancreatic/gastric secretions/gastric emptying/intestinal transit Bloom SR. et.al. Nature 2006
GLP-1 Enteroglucagon Hindgut theory Glucagon Like Peptide 1 Secreted by ileal L-cells in (rapid) response to a meal Actions Potent stimulator of insulin / supresses glucagon Slows gastric emptying Reduces appetite Increases beta cell mass Wynne K. J Clin Endo Met, 2004
RYGB and GLP-1 GLP-1 mantains euglycemia by increasing insulin secretion, and an exaggerated GLP-1 response was noted 10 years after RYGB, strongly suggesting a durability of this effect. Dar et al Obes Surg 2012
RYGB in maintenance weight loss Ghrelin has orexigenetic properties (i.e. a stimulating effect on appetite) Obestatin suppresses food intake and decreases gastric emptying. It also plays an important role in regolation of energy homeostasis Fasting ghrelin and obestatin plasma levels are higher in weight-stable patients 3 years after RYGB than in a life-style intervention Martins et al Obes Surg 2011
RYGB, ghrelin and obestatin Martins et al Obes Surg 2011
Hormonal Changes-Ghrelin Ghrelin is a hormone produced primarily by the gastric fundus suppress the insulin sensitizing hormone adiponectin Blocks hepatic insulin signaling Inhibits insulin secretion By gastric fundus removal, the reduced circulating ghrelin level and its insulinostatic effect will increase the maximal captacity of glucose induced insulin release and enable the islet to secrete more insulin Karamkos et al 2008 Abbatini et al 2009
RYGB and genetic obesity Heterozygous mutations in melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) are the most frequent genetic cause of obesity Lifestyle interventions based on exercise, behaviour and nutrition therapy in children with MC4R mutations are not effective in providing long-term weight loss, in contrast to children without MC4R mutations RYGB induces weight loss independently of this mutations

Micronutrient deficiences Rojas et al Obes Surg 2011
Micronutrient deficiences Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are the most common findings, as it happens in gastric surgery Iron, zinc and copper are also involved in inflammatory reactions, as anti or prooxidants, so their status appears impaired after RYGB. Rojas et al Obes Surg 2011
Bone mineral density RYGB is not detrimental for bone Menopausal women and those with greater lean mass are at higher risk of BMD loss, but progression to osteoporosis is uncommon and the risk of fracture is low. Villarasa et al Obes Surg 2011
RYGB and quality of life RYGB has demonstrated to significantly improve QOL when compared to those persons who lost weight without the surgical intervention. Improvement derives both from weight loss and reduction in comorbidities. Patients also reported low depression and high satisfaction after surgery Forbush et al Obes Surg 2011 Myers et al Obes Surg 2012
RYGB for T2DM in non severely obese patients Safe and effective to induce remission of T2DM in non severely obese patients, otherwise not elegible for bariatric surgery RYGB should be considered in those patients in which an adequate glycemic control cannot be achieved, despite lyfestyle modifications and the use glucose lowering agents.

CONCLUSIONS 1 BPD seems more effective than GBP in T2DM resolution also in the range of BMI 30-35
