- East Carolina University
- Brief Summary
This study is an investigation of the "metabolomics of RYGB with gastrostomy."
- Detailed Description
The rapid and durable remission of type II diabetes mellitis following the gastric bypass operation challenges the current concepts about the etiology of the disease. The surgery, which excludes food from the stomach, duodenum, and proximal jejunum, is quickly followed by a durable drop in glucose and insulin levels. As a result, 4 out of 5 diabetic, morbidly obese individuals who undergo the operation return to a long-term euglycemia with a prolongation of life and a reduction of health care costs.
The investigators at East Carolina University and those at Johnson and Johnson propose to further complete the profile of the upper gut by extending their observation to three additional human models. The investigators will study patients having the gastric band procedure, the gastric sleeve procedure, and those who have a gastric bypass but have a PEG tube inserted later.

Group Intervention Description Response to meal when a portion of the stomach is excluded from food flow cohort Gastric Sleeve Obese-diabetic patient undergoing gastric sleeve surgery will be studied before they have surgery, 1 week after surgery and again 3-6 months after surgery (to match data we already have in the current study). The patient will be studied with an intravenous glucose tolerance test to measure insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion and a meal challenge to measure the secretion of metabolites and peptides. Response to meal when a portion of the GI tract is excluded from food flow cohort Gastrostomy Tube In approximately 6 patients/year our surgeons have to insert a gastrostomy tube into the bypassed stomach of gastric bypass patients. This provides a unique opportunity to see the changes in metabolites and peptides in blood in response to a meal delivered to the bypassed stomach, duodenum and proximal jejunum. Since we can not anticipate which patients will require this procedure, we cannot do tests before surgery, but we will do four tests post-operatively: (1) an IV glucose tolerance test, (2) an oral meal challenge (with Hi-cal), and (3) a meal challenge (identical to that given orally/Hi-Cal) delivered through the gastrostomy tube. Gastrostomy subjects will also have a 4) test, a 75 gram dextrose meal challenge. Restricted food intake without rerouting food flow cohort Gastric Band Obese non-diabetic patients and diabetic patients undergoing gastric band surgery will be studied before they have surgery, 1 week after the band is adjusted to restrict food intake and again after they have lost the weight equal to that which gastric bypass patients loose 3 months after surgery (to match data we already have in the current study). All patients will be studied with an intravenous glucose tolerance test to measure insulin sensitivity and IV glucose-induced insulin secretion and a meal challenge to measure the secretion of metabolites and peptides.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Metabolics of RYGB with Gastrostomy - Insulin 03/25/2009-10/12/2012 The patient will be weighed after voiding. The weight will then be used to determine the amount of insulin to be administered during the minimal model. The following formulas will be used to calculate the insulin dosages:
REGULAR INSULIN: body mass (kg) X 0.025 UMetabolics of RYGB with Gastrostomy - Glucose 03/25/2009-10/12/2012 The patient will be weighed after voiding. The weight will then be used to determine the amount of glucose to be administered during the minimal model. The following formulas will be used to calculate the glucose dosages:
GLUCOSE: mls of 50% solution of glucose= body mass (kg) X 0.3g X 2
