简要总结
The overall aim is to delineate the contribution of ghrelin to glucose tolerance after sleeve gastrectomy. The hypothesis is that decreased concentration of ghrelin after SG is of importance for improved insulin secretion and glucose tolerance seen after SG. The expectation is therefore that infusion of ghrelin will impair insulin secretion and glucose tolerance compared with a control day without ghrelin infusion.
详细描述
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are bariatric procedures. Overwhelming evidence support bariatric surgery as the most effective treatment for severe obesity and related metabolic comorbidities, particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The mechanisms of improved glycaemic control after SG are not fully understood and differ from those of RYGB. Interestingly, there is demonstrated a markedly lower secretion of the orexigenic hormone ghrelin after SG compared with both RYGB and unoperated obese controls. Hence, the decreased level of ghrelin could be of major importance in relation to the improved glucose tolerance after SG.
Ghrelin is secreted from the gastric mucosa in the fasting state and decreases in response to food intake. Administration of exogenous ghrelin reduces insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in healthy humans and contributes to hyperglycaemia. In accordance, ghrelin receptor knockout in mice improves glucose sensitivity and enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
On this background the investigators hypothesize that the markedly reduced secretion of ghrelin after SG could therefore be of particularly importance for the improved glucose tolerance after this procedure.
This present study is complementary to an on-going study in SG operated subjects, where the role of ghrelin for appetite and insulin secretion during a mixed meal followed by an ad libitum meal are investigated. In the present study the effect of ghrelin on insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity is thoroughly investigated using methods eliminating the effect of other hormones on glucose metabolism.

结局指标
主要结局
The difference in disposition index between the two study days with and without ghrelin in fusion in the SG operated group
时间窗: 0-180 minutes
The first phase insulin response will be related to the ambient insulin sensitivity by calculating the disposition index (FPIR x M-value).
次要结局
- The difference in first phase insulin response (FPIR) between the two study days with and without ghrelin in fusion in the SG operated group(0-10 minutes (IVGTT))
- The difference in Insulin sensitivity (M-value) between the two study days with and without ghrelin in fusion in the SG operated group(160-180 minutes (the end of the clamp))
