ABSTRACT: Objectives
Peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY) exists as two species, PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 , with distinct effects on insulin secretion and appetite regulation. The detailed effects of bariatric surgery on PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 secretion are not known as previous studies have used nonspecific immunoassays to measure total PYY. Our objective was to characterize the effect of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on fasting and postprandial PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 secretion using a newly developed liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay.Design and subjects
Observational study in 10 healthy nonobese volunteers and 30 participants with obesity who underwent RYGB (n = 24) or SG (n = 6) at the Imperial Weight Centre [NCT01945840]. Participants were studied using a standardized mixed meal test (MMT) before and 1 year after surgery. The outcome measures were PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 concentrations.Results
Presurgery, the fasting and postprandial levels of PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 were low, with minimal responses to the MMT, and these did not differ from healthy nonobese volunteers. The postprandial secretion of both PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 at 1 year was amplified after RYGB, but not SG, with the response being significantly higher in RYGB compared with SG.Conclusions
There appears to be no difference in PYY secretion between nonobese and obese volunteers at baseline. At 1 year after surgery, RYGB, but not SG, is associated with increased postprandial secretion of PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 , which may account for long-term differences in efficacy and adverse effects between the two types of surgery.
