Role of hunger hormone “Ghrelin” in long-term weight loss following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

Abstract: Introduction:Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become a popular weight loss technique in morbidly obese patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate the changes in plasma ghrelin levels in relation to weight loss following LSG and to study the efficacy of LSG in terms of long-term glycemic control and resolution of diabetes.Methodology:The study was conducted on 70 morbidly obese patients (body mass index [BMI] >40 kg/m2) or severely obese patients (BMI >35 kg/m2) with comorbidities who underwent LSG… Show more

“…To discern a rationale for the improvements in lipid profiles, it is pertinent to note that plasma gastrin levels exhibit a noteworthy reduction subsequent to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. This reduction correlates with a diminished appetite and decelerated gastric emptying, subsequently fostering effective weight loss during the postoperative period [ 19 ]. These mechanisms may underpin the observed alterations in HDL and TG levels during the postoperative phase.…”

“…In general The aim of restrictive procedures is to decrease stomach volume. If the fundus is removed, satiety will emerge faster and will last longer because of lowered ghrelin levels [31]. Duodeno-jejunal exclusion results in more complex effects of gut hormones.…”

“…38 Also, reduced circulating ghrelin levels 39 have been linked to better short and mid-term weight loss after surgery. 40 Opposingly, higher concentrations of ghrelin-producing cells in the remaining fundus have been inversely correlated with weight loss. 41 Therefore, removing as much fundal tissue as possible seems crucial to the metabolic and bariatric success of LSG.…”
