Are gut hormones responsible for the decrease of appetitive behaviour for sweet and fatty foods after gastric bypass surgery?

2013

WOS: 000321389200211; International audience; Introduction: Gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) decreases preference for sweet and fatty foods, but the underlying mechanism is not known. This study aimed to investigate the role of the exaggerated satiety gut hormone release on appetitive reward of sweet and fatty taste after RYGB. Method: 13 patients that have undergone previous RYGB surgery (>6 months) and 13 normal weight controls participated in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial comparing the effect of subcutaneous injections of somatostatin analogue (octreotide) which blocks satiety gut hormone responses, and saline (control) on the appetitive reward value of sweet-fat candies. Appetiti…

Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia Mechanisms in Young Obese Subjects

2020

Autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity and imbalance between its sympathetic and parasympathetic components are important factors contributing to the initiation and progression of many cardiovascular disorders related to obesity. The results on respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) magnitude changes as a parasympathetic index were not straightforward in previous studies on young obese subjects. Considering the potentially unbalanced ANS regulation with impaired parasympathetic control in obese patients, the aim of this study was to compare the relative contribution of baroreflex and non-baroreflex (central) mechanisms to the origin of RSA in obese vs. control subjects. To this end, we applied…
