Abstract

Postprandial GLP-1 concentrations were highest after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) compared to other groups.

  • Postprandial GLP-1 levels were elevated after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) relative to unoperated individuals.
  • Postprandial GIP levels were lowest following RYGB.
  • GLP-1 receptor blockade decreased β-cell glucose sensitivity and increased postprandial glucose responses in SG and RYGB groups but had no effect in unoperated individuals.
  • GIP receptor blockade reduced β-cell glucose sensitivity and increased postprandial glucose responses in unoperated and SG individuals, but not in those who underwent RYGB.
  • The findings suggest GIP is the primary incretin hormone in unoperated individuals, while GLP-1 and GIP play equal roles after SG, and GLP-1 is predominant after RYGB.
