Glucose Absorption and Gut Hormone Secretion After Gastric Bypass

Not Applicable
Conditions
Overweight
Registration Number
NCT03426956
Lead Sponsor
Hvidovre University Hospital
Brief Summary

To investigate the impact of canagliflozin on secretion of gut hormones, in particular glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) in gastric bypass operated patients.

Detailed Description

Glucose is a potent stimulus for GLP-1 secretion after gastric bypass surgery and the SGLT-1 transporter appears to be crucial for this response. The study will investigate the effects of SGLT-1/SGLT-2 inhibition (by canagliflozin) on secretion of GLP-1 and other gut hormones after gastric bypass surgery.
