A Comparative Study of the Effects of Roux en Y Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy on Postprandial Gut Hormone Responses, Glycemia and Lipid Profile, Weight Loss, and Indices of Cardiovascular Risk
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Bariatric surgery for Morbid Obesity. Completed, enrolled 28 participants.
Detailed Summary
Morbidly obese patients undergoing either Roux en Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy were examined preoperatively, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. On each occasion, anthropometric data were collected, resting metabolic rate was measured, and the patients underwent a panel of cardiovascular examinations (heart rate variability, baroreflex sensitivity, heart ultrasound). Following that, they consumed a test meal and completed visual analog scales for the subjective assessment of hunger and fullness every 30 minutes for 3 hours. At the same time points, blood samples were collected for the consequent measurement of glucose, insulin, lipids, and gastrointestinal hormones.
