Registration Number
NCT01945840
Lead Sponsor
Imperial College London
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether the changes in gut hormones seen following Roux en Y Gastric Bypass surgery are responsible for some of the beneficial effects seen post-operatively.

Detailed Description

This study is designed to investigate whether chronic elevation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), oxyntomodulin and peptide YY (PYY) in combination is responsible for the majority of the metabolic effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) including improved glycaemia, increased energy expenditure, reduced food intake, weight loss, reduced preference for high calorie foods and reduced activation in brain reward areas in response to visual food cues.
