There are different explanations concerning observed improvement of glucose control after baiatric gatric bypass surgery. The aim of our study was to investigate GLP-1 response after test meal (Fresubin drink a 200 ml; 200 kcal, 15% protein, 30% fat and 55% carbohydrate) before (day 0) and 5; 90 and 180 days after gastric bypass surgery. Glycaemia (mmol/l; glucose oxidase) and GLP-1 (Active 7-36) (pM/l; ELISA, ALPCO diagnostics) were determined in 41 obese patients (age: 37.86...

Introduction: Various hypothesis exist about the mechanism of changes in glucose control and insulin sensitivity after bariatric surgery.Description of methods/design: The aim of our study was to determine glucose, insulin, C-peptide and GLP-1 levels after test meal (Fresubin drink a 200 ml given at 0 min; 200 kcal, 15% protein, 30% fat and 55% carbohydrate) before (day 0) and 5 days after gastric bypass surgery in a 22 obese patients (age: 36.22±12...
