Severe Obesity
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of GLP-1 and other gut-secreted hormones (glucagon, GIP, grelin and PYY) on food-intake, appetite and glucose metabolism after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.
Detailed description
To do this the effect of combined GLP-1 receptor blockade by Exendin 9-39 and DPP-4-inhibition will be evaluated.
Interventions
Exendin 9-39 is a specific GLP-1 receptor antagonist
DPP-4 Inhibition
Saline

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Uncomplicated RYGB performed 3-12 month proir to the study. Fasting plasma glucose \<7.0 mM and HbA1c \< 48 mmol/mol 3 month after RYGB.
Exclusion criteria
* Fasting plasma glucose \>7.0 mM and HbA1c \> 48 mmol/mol 3 month after RYGB. Hemoglobin \<6.5mM. Previous anaphylaxis when treated with Januvia or Byetta. Allergy for sitagliptin. Dysregulated hypothyroidism. Use of antithyroid treatment. Late diabetic complications as retinopathy, renal insuffiency, neuropathy or previous pancreatitis. Bad compliance. * Complications to RYGB: Documented reactive hypoglycaemia, severe dumping (with vomiting, diarrhea or severe abdominal pain after food intake).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ad libitum food intake (changes in food intake) | 3-12 month after RYGB | Evaluated by changes in food intake between the placebo day and the day with both administration of exendin 9-39 and DPP 4 Inhibitor |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Glucose metabolism (iAUC of glucose and c-pep after a meal) | 3-12 month after RYGB | Evaluated by iAUC of glucose and c-pep after a meal |
| Gut-derived hormone profiles (iAUC of GLP-1, PYY, GIP and glucagon after a meal) | 3-12 month after RYGB | Evaluated by iAUC of GLP-1, PYY, GIP and glucagon after a meal |
| Appetite measurement (VAS-scores) | 3-12 month after RYGB | Evaluated by VAS-scores |
