Comment to "Long versus short biliopancreatic limb in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: short-term results of a randomized clinical trial" May 8, 2021

From the early 90’s limb length in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been a matter of debate. RYGB remains one of the most efficient bariatric procedures although the mechanisms involved are multifactorial and are still incompletely elucidated. Except for the common channel whose variation in length refers clearly to what has been called “distal gastric […]

Long-term outcome of bariatric surgery in patients with bi-allelic mutations in the POMC, LEPR and MC4R gene May 7, 2021

Gene mutations in the leptin-melanocortin signaling cascade are leading to hyperphagia and severe early onset obesity. In most cases, multi-modal conservative treatment (increased physical activity, reduced caloric intake) is not successful to stabilize body weight and control hyperphagia. Therefore, bariatric surgery has been discussed as a therapeutic option for these patients with genetic obesity.

The relation between postprandial glucagon-like peptide-1 release and insulin sensitivity before and after bariatric surgery in humans with class II/III obesity May 5, 2021

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist treatment is beneficial for human glucose metabolism, and GLP-1 secretion is greatly enhanced following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
