Brief summary

To investigate the secretion of gut hormones, in particular glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), after ingestion of glucose and fructose as separate monosaccharides or combined in the disaccharides sucrose and isomaltulose and the effect of acarbose in gastric bypass operated subjects and BMI-matched controls.

Detailed description

Disaccharides such as sucrose or isomaltulose (also called palatinose) require digestion into monosaccharides (both are digested to glucose and fructose) by enzymes located in the brush border of the small intestine to be absorbed. The study will investigate the influence of carbohydrate digestion on gut hormone secretion.

Interventions

OTHERGlucose + Fructose

Ingestion of the separate monosaccharides glucose (25 g) and fructose (25 g) dissolved in 200 mL of water. The load provides 0.1385 mol glucose and 0.1385 mol fructose.

OTHERSucrose

Ingestion of the disaccharide sucrose (47.5 g) dissolved in 200 mL of water. The load provides 0.1385 mol glucose and 0.1385 mol fructose.

Ingestion of the slowly digestable disaccharide isomaltulose (47.5 g) dissolved in 200 mL of water. The load provides 0.1385 mol glucose and 0.1385 mol fructose.

OTHERSucrose + Acarbose

Ingestion of the disaccharide sucrose (47.5 g) and the alpha glucosidase inhibitor acarbose dissolved in 200 mL of water. The load provides 0.1385 mol glucose and 0.1385 mol fructose.
