Who can join
Adults 18 to 65, any sex, with Post-bariatric Surgery. Healthy volunteers can join.
What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
The investigator measure glucose, islet and GI hormonal levels in response to meal ingestion as a composite measure and the percentage of contribution of GLP-1 contribution to postprandial insulin levels will also be calculated
Time frame: up to 1 year (10 sessions)
Sponsor's own description
The overall goal of this project is to understand the mechanisms by which gastric bypass surgery improves glucose metabolism. The central hypothesis guiding this project is that the reconfiguration of intestinal transit with the Roux-en-Y will increase the release of insulinotropic GI hormones, termed incretins that improve insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. The study is divided into three specific aims. 1. To determine the role of incretin hormones on insulin secretion in patients with gastric bypass surgery using intravenous-oral hyperglycemic clamp. 2. To compare incretin effect and glucose tolerance among patient who suffer from hypoglycemia after RYGB and asymptomatic surgical and non-surgical individuals. 3. To quantify the contribution of GLP-1 to incretin effect enhancement following surgery.
