Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia: an Impaired Metabolic Response to a Meal.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

Post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is caused by postprandial hyperinsulinemia, due to anatomical alterations and changes in post-prandial metabolism after bariatric surgery. The mechanisms underlying the failing regulatory and compensatory systems are unclear. In this study, we investigated the differences in post-prandial hormones and metabolic profiles between patients with and without PBH.

Methods

We performed a mixed meal test (MMT) in 63 subjects before and 1 year after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Blood was withdrawn at 0, 10, 20, 30, 60, and 120 min after ingestion of a standardized meal. Glucose, insulin, GLP-1, FGF-19, and FGF-21 were measured and untargeted metabolomics analysis was performed on blood plasma to analyze which hormonal and
